Pros

Great compensation and ability to be promoted. You come across associates with the best work ethic which is rare in most retail settings. You have a lot of face time with district managers and even people from corporate. Company is building rapidly so lots of opportunity if you are willing to work extremely hard.

Cons

Constant changes to procedures becomes extremely counter productive. No work life balance. Long hours if you are in management. Company sometimes focuses too much on standards or micro managing to that point that they miss the biggest issue which is creating sales. Marketing initiatives could be improved drastically.

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
