Pros

Didn't really have somebody breathing down your back. I think they know who they hire better than most and you are expected to do your job. and you get pretty good discounts.

Cons

working in the footwear department and being a fan of shoes but the shoe selection was lackluster. i am a basketball player and fan and we carried like 6 basketball shoes. running shoe selection was pretty amazing. and i worked six hours twice a week due to cutback of hours.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
