Pros

Getting to play dress up with Brides and Prom Girls If the store is really dead, you can try on wedding dresses

Cons

Can be hard to make commission outside of Bridal Christmas - have to average over $150 an hour just to even get 1%. Impossible to get time off or plan life - you'll end up being scheduled days you had off and harassed on your days off to cover someone who didn't show up. Weekends are a MUST are will be 8-9 hour shifts. Brides that don't know what they want and will spend hours trying on dresses, or girls that aren't even engaged and just want to play dress up will screw over any chance of commission and you are expected to sell NO MATTER WHAT (even if the girl isn't engaged or has only been engaged for a few days and the wedding isn't for years) Brides will wait until 2 weeks before their wedding and expect you to find a wedding dress and matching dresses for their entire bridal party in time.
