                      Pros

                      Pretty easy job, though it can be stressful especially during holidays, when a lot of stuff changes/products move around because they give your store a deadline.

                      Cons

                      The job itself is great, but management is what will really make it good or bad. Also all the stores are short staffed so I would have to help out at other stores sometimes too.

                      What are your thoughts on companies requesting references before scheduling an interview? Recently got a request for an interview but the instructions were to provide 3 references first.
