Pros

Competitive Pay Opportunities for advancement - Promotions based on performance Vacation/Paid Time off - You will start with 2 weeks vacation and 10 days personal time (total of 4 weeks) Alot better than another retailer that I've worked for. I don't feel like overpaid labor. Although retail will be retail and it has its cons (crazy customers, black friday, wishy washy payroll) they have a great culture.

Cons

9.5 Hr Work days 6 day work weeks in season (however, you are given 3 additional personal days to compensate) Micro-managed Retail Environment - It's not for everybody Training - It is structured and placed in a training store however there is not follow up from DM or Regional partners

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.
