Pros

The management experience I earned

Cons

No Benefits, Home office didn't care about job satisfaction, retail is a secondary labor market and is hard to get out of once you are in it for a while.

Pros

Benefits, discount, great products to choose from if they are in stock

Cons

Too many chiefs, not enough indians, very few hours to give staff, managers called out for entire district to hear on voice mail if sales goals for the day are not met even if you made sales plan but maybe you didn't make how many units goal or convert enough people from lookers to buyers based on a tracking system that is inaccurate. If you did make all these goals, did you make your stretch goal? How high is high is the mantra. I swear if I hear any more BS buzz words or made up company BS buzz words my head will explode. Very low stock levels.

Pros

Gain a lot of knowledge about customer service and retail sales.

Cons

Stressful work environment to always make sale targets. High turnover of managers and associates so it's hard to work together because there are always new people who don't know what they are doing and are always in training. Higher management comes in the store periodically to mainly criticise everything that is wrong right after a floorset is completed. There is little room for moving up in the company because new managers are brought in from other companies, and so they don't know what they are doing and they rely on asking lower associates what to do - when it should be that lower associates that should be promoted.
