Pros

Pros Somewhat flexible hours, mostly independent work

Cons

Low pay, ridiculous expectations, high learning curve, very little support. Physically demanding job, tedious beyond imagination, hours around holidays are outrageous. Displays are very difficult to put together. No financial incentive for doing a good job. Never enough hours to accomplish the expected tasks, yet RMs are constantly criticized for taking longer than allotted hours. Still, management expects each store to be”retail-ready.” One of the most frustrating and unsatisfying jobs i’ve ever had! I would recommend avoiding it all costs,

Pros

Great company and great people! Very thorough training program.

Cons

It can be hard work! Some stores don't have deliveries where they're suppose to be and you have to go searching. You have an allotted amount time to spend at each store.
