Pros

Great products - get to see and play with new products. 30% staff discount.

Cons

Too many hours. Continually given too many hours even after talking to manager about it several times. Hard for a student to balance work/school/life balance.

Pros

No commission or quotas, relatively low stress setting (except around holidays, which is similar to any other retail setting), not required to work very late as the stores close latest around 9-10pm, team members can be excellent, creative and like-minded. If you're looking to advance to a management position, you can likely do so with ease if you're a good worker and a position arises.

Cons

Influx of hiring new employees for seasonal positions causes stress because of their lack of knowledge, training is not always sufficient for new employees, not very picky when it comes to hiring, which adds incompetent employees to an otherwise good team. It's a minimum wage job, but in my experience, management has almost always been hired from existing employees.
