Pros

The entire team is very willing to help teach you all about the products and assist in any way possible. Truly a team environment where I’ve made some amazing friends! The managers are also constantly guiding you not only on your current position but helping you get to where you want to be within the company & meeting different people. I really love this work environment!

Cons

Working in a mall setting with mall hours isn’t ideal, and working weekends isn’t fun, but for the exposure and networking it’s easily manageable. :)
