Pros

The pay is amazing, even if you are not the top earner. The top earners at a couple stores make six figures. Your fellow employees are your lifeline. Joking, talking, they will keep you sane. If you like talking to and helping customers you will love this job.

Cons

The hours are awful. Forget about any work-life balance, even though the company will try to tell you at every turn that that is what they are about. Fellow employees can sometimes be cut-throat when it comes to taking a sale you started. Sometimes things can get heated. Usually, though it's laid back. The company is throwing more and more back-breaking work at you and taking more time away from sales. You are almost more of a warehouse worker now.
