Pros

Coworkers are usually fun to work with. Not too difficult to learn the job.

Cons

From my experience: Upper management is not it touch with employee morale or the experience of actually working in the store day-to-day. Raises are rarely given out, Most the products in the store are poor quality in my opinion, the products that are good quality are typically way overpriced, Relief managers and part-time managers are paid little more than minimum wage. Upper management favors reducing hours to save money on payroll, so if you're part-time while you're struggling to get enough hours to pay your bills and taking on a higher workload on the clock for low pay because the store is minimally staffed the supervisors are congratulating for keeping hours low. Some stores get more hours than others, though for questionable reasons. In my experience, the quality of employees has gone down drastically and turnover rate has increased in the last few years due to uncompetitive wages and expectations/treatment from upper management.

Pros

employee discount is decent if you or your loved one is into sports or camping

Cons

they train salesmen like a car dealership. you're constantly expected to get people to sign up for a mailing list when most customers only come in to the store because of the mailing list.
