Pros

All employees are eligible for benefits. Willing to work with you on scheduling around life (usually). Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Pay is abysmal, regardless of position. Start at minimum wage and top out at about $10 an hour after years of employ. Absolutely no opportunity to advance the vast majority of the time. Getting into management is nigh impossible if you haven't already been a manager elsewhere, and even then it's pure luck. Typical pitfalls of retail all apply here as well. Turnaround rate is high, so expect to go outside of the normal tasks of your position and expect to be spread thin on most days.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
