Pros

Creative freedom. Low turn over rate.

Cons

They don't take visuals seriously, and it will be the end of them. They don't pay you well, regardless of education, experience, or numbers you bring in.

worst job I ever had

Pros

company discount; extra special shopping events for employees

Cons

Worked in merchandising; specifically pricing and signing. Poor management all around. Was trained by an associate who was leaving. One week training. Was expected to know everything about the job. Went through 2 managers who left-never received proper training. Received wrong signs and materials from corporate; had hours cut for "not doing the job", then was told, basically that I was "too fat", not in those words, but was told I couldn't get around fast enough. The pressure and negative talk continued until I quit.
