Pros

* Great base to learn retail from the ground up and bulld a resume of work * Decent benefits, in line with most large companies * Generally pleasant and helpful coworkers and a friendly atmosphere with peers

Cons

* Work/life balance exists for those in upper management tiers; lower level employees are not treated equally and creates resentment * Lack of training and clear direction; you must be willing to 'find your way' without assistance * Upper management will 'turn' quickly- both on each other and lower level management as a scapegoat * Salaries not equal across the same jobs- often will find a coworker is in a significantly different pay scale, although equal job responsibility.

There isn't much interaction between divisions - there isn't much of a sense of community or team outside your own division.
