Pros

good associate discount, public is eager to buy and mostly very nice, sales floor has a great atmosphere, some nice people to work with

Cons

The store was badly designed with the stockroom up two flights of stairs and a slow freight elevator. Sales associates are expected to dress "business casual" but are required to work in the warehouse lifting heavy merchandise, climbing ladders, etc. After getting sweaty going up and down the steps with merchandise, one has to make nice with customers. The computer inventory system is spotty at best.

Pros

Great product and the ability to be creative in merchandising. Discount is nice. Able to furnish my place well below what customers pay.

Cons

Pay is sup-par with similar stores. Advancement is very slow and can take years to move up to Store Manager position.
