Pros

Relatively flexible, depending on who your store manager is. Compensation is competitive, benefits are decent. If you work in a store that has historically produced good metrics, chances are you will be left to do your work and not bothered by upper management much.

Cons

Upper management (outside of the stores) only see a snapshot of what is happening. They really only care about numbers (results) and often fail to give you applicable advice to accomplish tasks that seem insurmountable. Bonuses are weighted on certain metrics - overall sales performance counts, but it is certainly not the driving factor behind your structure (customer surveys are!).

Pros

They know how they want their stores to operate. It's idiot proof. If you're willing to learn they can teach you.

Cons

Not adequately staffed. Chances to move up seem slim. Pay is good starting out, but a decent raise is rare.

Pros

The people are nice for the most part. A way to buy under armour at a discount. You can wear workout clothes to work.

Cons

The company doesn't seem to like to promote from within. Their return policy is not static and varies from situation to situation. You have to sometimes do projects more than once because they change their minds too many times.
