Pros

I enjoyed the training and development aspects I could bring to my team as an ETL. Helping others reach their goals is pretty great to be apart of. They also pay well.

Cons

The ETL position is so time demanding it's ridiculous. They work you 10-15 hour days half the time and then they're baffled that so many people were sick or stressed to the point of quitting. The training we received was sub par and half the time they don't even have position ready for you, so you may float or be an extra ETL at a random store. The holidays are a nightmare but that is a given in retail. This position has no support depending on your team of managers and your store manager. If you love retail go for it, if not RUN!
