Pros

You aren't stuck doing one thing all day. You will be so busy time will fly by. If you can do the job and are good at it, there are good opportunities to move up the ladder.

Cons

Heavy physical labor; harsh, unrealistic expectations for ring speed and boxing/stocking/cleaning speed; little to no training; expecting 1 single person to do the jobs of 4 people simultaneously.

Pros

The store that I work with is a training facility as well, so we have new people in and out all the time. Our manager is amazing and super understanding. It's fast paced and laid back, there are decent expectations for speed, but it's a great place to work.

Cons

We're a training facility, we have new people in all the time. But because we are a training facility the expectations are higher.
