Pros

Fun people (a few bad apples, but that's retail), great products, excellent employee discount

Cons

Management makes or breaks the store. I was lucky enough to have brilliant store managers and a fantastic floor lead. Hours are based on conversion rate and meeting store goals. I was often sent home early, which ended up working out for me and my family but might be problematic for those counting on hours. Not a ton of standardized training. I mostly learned on the job.
