Pros

Semi-good benefits if you are willing to work every waking moment of your life. A few good people in a sea of uneducated gossipers.

Cons

You must be willing to give up your life to work for this company. The customer is always right even if they are clearly wrong to anyone with an IQ over 10. As a manager, customers will tear you down while the associates gossip about you and upper management will limit your ability to do your job by taking away associate's hours and adding more work to your plate.
