Pros

20% discount is pretty cool when other retailers only give 10%

Cons

Its Retail. Micromanagement is the norm and is what is expected of management in dealing with subordinates. Advancement only comes when one adopts the "Management culture" This is a job, not a career.

Pros

Incredible discounts, they work with your schedule, tuition reimbursement, good coworkers, decent work-life balance, okay pay. Some managers are great while others are so-so. A lot of college kids work here so it's a fun work environment and most of the customers that visit on a regular basis are understanding of the difficulties of retail and are respectful.

Cons

Favoritism among managers, at times irrational scheduling, work-load can be at times challenging, and inconsistency in expectations and presentation between corporate and first-line managers.
