Pros

Fast paced (or course this is retail). Gym on site for a fee (if you ever get a chance for some down time). Good cafeteria. Benefits are ok. The pay is not bad for retail. They say they welcome growth but, I did not see this happen. The headquarters campus is nice but you never get to enjoy it with the piles of work.

Cons

Work you to the bone. Literally, the hours are very long and the work life balance is little to none. Management is unappreciative and want you to sweat. They are not understandable at all.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
