Pros

Nothing really after the luster of free products and wasting your hard earned money in the store wears off.

Cons

-Management is completely lazy. Will sit in back all day while one person does everything. -Absolutely no praise for meeting store quotas and goals. -Raises are once a year and .38¢ maximum. -Customers are rotten, and expect you to have used every product known to man and know everything about everything. -Pay is a joke for everything you are expected to do and know. -Very catty environment to work in. Gossip is a constant. -Computers are running on DOS point of sale system and no scanners so each item must be hand keyed. -Training is a huge problem. Since employee turnover is so high they push people through training and send them out on the floor with no knowledge. Overall, unpleasant. It's easy to get stuck here like I am after 4 years.

Pros

My store manager and team were wonderful! If you make the right moves you can move up the ladder reasonably quickly,

Cons

You can move up the ladder quickly because turnover is so high. Management will lie to you and tell you whatever you want to hear to keep you from leaving. Your experience is entirely dependent on who your store manager is and if they are willing to advocate for you. District management does not care about employees.
