Pros

At my location, everyone was really nice to each other and we all got along for the most part. The job itself was pretty enjoyable as retail jobs go.

Cons

There's really not much room for growth. I was there for a couple years and people that were new (like had only been there a couple months and I trained them) got promoted over me just because I couldn't work all week long. I wasn't even approached about a promotion, but the manager would commonly give me leader-like tasks. Pay isn't the best in the world, but I didn't have many expenses at the time.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
