Pros

If you work hard and are decent at political maneuvering, it is fairly easy to be recognized for the work you do.

Cons

Although they say a good work life balance is important, it becomes an impossible notion if you want to advance. Salaried managers are paid on a 45 hour work week(5- 10 hour days minus a 1 hour lunch each day...that you may or may not get). The fine print is when you are sent to certain stores that require a 6th day and require you to come in early and stay late to stay in good graces. 70 hour weeks quickly become the norm.

Pros

Good pay for management, but not for hourly associates. Lots of room for advancement if you don't mind kissing butt a lot!

Cons

The company is all over the place, switching from one useless program to the next. A new catch phrase every month. Extremely unreasonable expectations given without the time or resources to do them. Can not get or keep quality associates because they don't want to pay a good rate for any, but they still expect people to take the abuse for minimum wage. Its like the company is run by slum lords.

Pros

A really nice entry level job with decent pay. A nice atmosphere along with a great welcoming staff. The days were usually busy so I had plenty of things to do. Never boring.

Cons

No cons besides the lack of hours that were given to each employee. Could have organized the staff a bit better.
