Pros

Experience, some great and talented people. Convenient location. Corporate has Good on-site features. Ability to become a great company again.

Cons

Management is out of touch with reality in a declining business with rotating door specifically in IT. You don’t actually manage anything but update upper executives who micro manage and don’t actually understand how to run an IT Department. They continue to hire the wrong senior leadership at the Senior Director and VP level on up.

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.
