      Pros

      If you are looking for a paycheck it's a great company. if you are looking for a career... you might want to look elsewhere. The pay is great in this economy but they also know they must pay well because most of the job expectations are extremely high. It's a great job for a work horse and they know it and pay accordingly!

      Cons

      It is very hard work, there are a lot of politics... it's a very "good ol' boys" type of management system. But then again most companies are... they try to set themselves apart by buiilding/ branding with the neighborhood them but when the day is done they are a company just like any other.

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
