Pros
Not hard and fun environment. Learn how to try to sell (perfumes)

It is kind of stressful. I worked at two stores and one no one cared about keeping store clean. The other store I worked at management was strict, which was nice because everything went smoothly.

Great coworkers, fun store, great customer interactions.

Too harsh on management over theft. No promotions if high shrink store. Associates get no raises, 30 cent manger raise every year.

Make a career opportunity out of struggling stores. Large potential being over looked.
