Pros

Pay is commensurate with market rates Perks like tickets to concerts, games, and races Great discounts on furniture

Cons

The place is career suicide for all but a select few. Don't expect them to offer you any exposure to current technologies to keep your skills relevant. You'll have to do that yourself. The good old boy club is alive and well at this company, so don't expect to make it into any position of director level or executive responsibility as a woman. Think I'm kidding? There are exactly 0 female directors and vice presidents in this company. As technology goes, they were finally starting to enter the 1990's when I left. At that time, they were finally moving from an old Clipper (?!?!?) based point of sale to a SQL based point of sale. But, the executives at this company don't like technology and their spending shows it. They try to do everything super-cheap, so most projects turn out to be disasters and this just perpetuates the cycle of distrust in technology.

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.
