Pros

* the Front End is a large team has many able contributors to help you with daily tasks * Front End has a lot of variety in the day to day, you shouldn't get bored * Highly recommend the Management Training Program if you are considering a career in big box retail management. Gives you a taste of every area in a given store so when you are fully trained, you can hopefully get paired up with a good match.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement from the GMs Bonus structure is a bit convoluted and the Front End bonuses are tied to store sales, so take that into consideration before you choose a potential location.

Pay is good, managers are nice, there are opportunities to advance in career.

At least when I was there, they rely on a lot of old fashioned systems.
