Pros

Great work-life balance for a retail job. If you show interest, managers and leaders will help you develop. Most people are very friendly. They offer free coffee and affordable lunches. After 6 months, you get a 401 (k) with matching. After one year, you can apply for education assistences. They are very inclusive to all cultures and accommodating to religious values, sexual orientation, and cultural differences. Once you hire its is easy to move departments within a year. All co-workers are provided with holiday pay, sickleave, and pto.

Cons

Upward growth is slow; it can take an average of 2 years to move up in management or become a specialist if you stay in one location. News and gossip spread quickly. Pay is competitive for the first year, but pay growth is small year after year unless you go into management or a specialist role. They are slow to hire and slow to fire.
