Pros

Decent discount, fair pay, work that is varied but not too difficult. Good place to pick up some seasonal work

Cons

Outdated...everything? Everything there is old and tired, from the registers to the products. Difficult to advance as the management structure keeps shifting constantly. Corporate expects you to do more and more with less and less each quarter.
