Pros

Its a great way to make a lot of important contacts, especially dealing with business customers, and of course there are perks and incentives like discounts and other accommodations. In many cases as well there are some very passionate people working there and they can be some good friends as well.

Cons

Some cases there is some unfairness as far as how promotions and raises are handled, but thats more or less a thing with individual managers not wanting too much change, one of the things that bugs me the most is that if you are too good in one area they wont let you try to get good and move to another area because they have to rely too much on you in that first area, it hurts especially when on that track there is little room to move on up the ladder.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
