Pros

good employee discount on items and equipment in the store. pretty good selection of various brands when it comes to clothes and shoes

Cons

You can only make one mistake when you are on cash register, they will give you a warning and you can't make another for 6 months. The 2nd mistake leads to direct termination, no ifs ands or buts about it. Not enough training for new employees. They will throw you directly to the wolves on your 2nd day.

Pros

Fairly good benefits package, especially for retail Great co-workers Laid-back environment

Cons

Rude customers (like every retail job). But, they get even ruder when there aren't enough employees to cover departments, which happens almost daily. Bad employees make life more difficult for good employees, and store management is not willing to fire anyone.
