Pros

Once you have your foot in the door, the career opportunities are endless. They pretty much only promote from within, so you have opportunity to move up as long as you show you're sharp and willing to work hard.

Cons

Upper corporate management can have a tendency to shoot first, ask questions later, when making changes to store policies. They will sometimes hear of an issue at one retail store or get one comment from a store team member (sometimes even a part time employee, not even a store or department manager) and overreact to that 1 piece of information.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
