Pros

Strong training programs and flexible hours. Many employees seem to take pride in their work and enjoy the structure.

Cons

"Frat-like" environment with a tremendous amount of off-color and innappropriate behavior. Perfect place to work if you have a side business that requires at great deal of your focus. Be sure to keep this to yourself however as it is frowned upon. Because the buyer position is as mindless as any position you could have, I cannot stress enough the importance of having additional revenue streams to occupy your time. Working amongst this caliber of personnel (uneducated, slovenly retail castoffs) can take its toll on someone that considers themselves motivated.

They are expanding at a great rate and have all kinds of positions were you can advance to become a better person and continue to grow and advance with a leader in the industry.

Cons

It is a retail store so you do work when other people are off. So weekends and nights are required.
