Pros
The opportunities for advancement are great. If the right people like you and you show some potential, the sky's the limit. I received a promotion into management after less than a year working with the company, and I got an opportunity to meet store managers, vice presidents, vendor company presidents, CEOs, etc. It is a great place to network. Also, I have to admit that most of the people that I met in management positions or above did start out as sales associates.
Cons
Retail is horrible. You are working with people who, generally speaking, barely graduated from high school. The customers are unpleasant, and it is just a really unprofessional atmosphere.
