Pros

- Great for versatile people -Great role for creative/visual people -Great role to get experience -Pay is okay

Cons

-Because some members of management weren’t aware of the VM job scope, it’s very easy to find yourself being asked to do outside tasks to your role. It’s important to learn how to balance being a helping hand and getting your work done. - Unpredictable hours sometimes. Between setting, ISM, etc. rearranging your schedule to get work done before store open is easier as a VM, but can be very taxing overtime -Depending on store, you deal with the usual things like cliques, favoritism, etc. -No ability to grow in the Visual field. In order to grow, you have to take a position like a team lead or something in the store. No ability to get to HQ.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
