Pros

Many associates, easy to develop work relationships. Depending on position the work is relatively easy. Good benefits package for full-time employees.

Cons

Good work tends to go unnoticed. You have to "play the game" to receive a promotion. The company seems to alter it's sales strategies and policies seemingly every month. Pay is below average.
