Pros

The money was fair and there was a LOT of work to be done. I wasn't bored. There is room for growth if you are tough as nails and want to fly solo. Good environment for the blustering, hard boiled types.

Cons

Communication. Non-existent at times. My boss wouldn't reply to important e-mails and I wouldn't hear from him for long periods. I would hear important news from third parties by chance. Job Security. Make a mistake or become even temporarily irrelevant and you are toast. I worked there three years and saw many good people fired without warning. Culture. Ruthless, brutal, non-encouraging atmosphere. Employees have a sense of dread. Afraid to say anything or take any risks because they have seen lots of people lose their jobs for trivial reasons. This company is a soul killer. It's NOT worth the money.

Pros

All the people I worked with in the store were fantastic people. Everyone helps everyone else and doesn't leave anyone out to dry.

Cons

Management above store level were a nightmare. Easily the worst I've ever experienced. They would change goals often, sometimes within days of having made a change. They would make assumptions about what was wrong without ever actually being in store. They wouldn't speak to ANYONE below the level of a manager to the point of ignoring someone if they greeted them.
