Pros
For sales, salaries have a commission component so compensation is better than at comparable stores. The is a store wide discount which unfortunately is not overly generous. In 2006, the employee discount was 20%, but it applies to all store departments. The corporate structure leads to more professional environment than working at a boutique.
Cons
The hours are not conducive to work/life balance, but this is a downside to retail jobs. The management isn't accommodating when building the schedules. Often it seemed to revolve around the manager preferences for vacation time. Also the training for sales and product knowledge is negligible.
