Pros

Employee discount and book check out program are pretty much it at this point. You could get better perks most anywhere else.

Cons

Pushing management and employees to the brink on the Discount Card and Magazine for Millionaires program. Reminding the managers almost weekly of how bad unemployment is in this country right now, to illustrate how lucky they are to have jobs period. A company that is proud when it cuts the hours for a store, but increases projects. Managers end up doing all of the work here because that one employee you can afford on the sales floor needs to stick right by the register so they can greet each customer as they walk in, but still ring people up, too.

Pros

Opportunities to move up and gain more knowledge, enjoyable workplace with flexibility and open lines of communication. Feel valued and fulfilled. Corporate and home office has improved communication and clarity significantly, Company allows stores more freedom in how they achieve success and what their stores can decide on when it comes to changes and updates.

Cons

In my opinion, pay can be on the lower end. Experience can be dependent on your management/person above you, but that is usual.
