Pros

If you are looking for a career in retail with a lot of opportunity for advancement, this is it. There are many tools you are given to succeed, as long as you follow them. Human Resources and upper management are strong and consistent.

Cons

Middle and lower management can have very unrealistic expectations. There are many people in middle management who do not do their job effectively, and take it out on their team or store managers. Training is not comprehensive, so many managers do things "their own way" which causes a lot of confusion, dissension and an inconsistency between stores and districts.
