Pros
*Always provided with a solid 40 hours a week *Monthly bonuses can range from $25-$1500 or more depending on how much profit you generate. *In my area (OKC metro) overtime is almost always available. *Hourly pay not bad for a job that requires no higher education/specific skill training. *You learn a lot about a broad range of merchandise (electronics, tools, jewelry, etc.) *The commission structure keeps you motivated and interested in the job. Instead of working hourly while all profits are sent to corporate, you get to keep a percentage of all profits you make from loans (pawns) and sales. *Your management will SOMETIMES make good deals on merchandise you are interested in purchasing
Kontras
*Definite favoritism in upper management *Stores constantly understaffed *Sometimes have to work more hours than you would like *The turnover rate is very high. I would guess 80% of new hires quit in under 6 months. *Customers and management WILL try your patience, and even coworkers you like will get on your nerves on busy 50-60 hour weeks *VERY little room to do anything else, time wise (School, part time second job, etc)
