Trainer's beware.

Pros

Not a lot. My Store Manager is incredibly supportive and helpful, same with the Area Manager.

Cons

I rarely hear from the Head Trainer for my state. The whole country also has 3 Head Trainers, two of which are on parental leave which leaves us with 1 head trainer for the whole country. Trainer's do not get paid any more than a floor person hourly despite taking on more responsibilities and duties.
