Pros
Decent pto A good enough health plan If you have a half brain, you’ll likely get some sort of promotion. You learn cool things in the pro shop section.
Cons
No work/life balance. You must live or die for the store. Especially if salaried. Do not make plans on your days off in the summer. Never have your phone on silent. You must answer when called. No flexibility on schedules. If you can’t schedule something for your set day off, you might as well forget ever going to it. Management can be prickly. If word gets out you’re so much as looking for other employment, expect a touch base. If you can’t plaster a smile on your face in the warehouse, expect a touch base. If you have the nerve to leave the store slightly askew after a $60k day, expect a touch base. Corporate has full control of the camera system and will call to ask why your employees aren’t doing anything in the dead of winter. At some point, you run out of things to size or windex. The customers are abusive. Please expect to be cussed out because there’s no parking within a mile of the store.
