Pros

Great people, competitive pay, lots of corporate office amenities

Cons

With the declining corporate culture, frequent layoffs, reorganizations and reactionary environment, good people are feeling the oppressive weight of the challenges of the retail industry. A company that once care about its people has been forced to become more interested in the bottom line. Communication lines within the organization have suffered.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
