Pros

You get to be surrounded by some of the coolest and newest tech on the market. Get trained on how to use them and how they work. Pay can be good potentially be good depending on your department. Benefits are really decent compared to other companies.

Cons

Ive worked there for 3 + years and work life balance is terrible! They want you to be available as much as possible and will slay you with hours. They also so not respect religious obligations and I would need to work Sundays or go part time. Also that I would have to deal with it or find another job simply because my beliefs which is discrimination. You will be asked to come on your days off to work and will be shamed of you do not comply. Turnover rate is super high and being understaffed and over worked is a huge issue. It would be great if you were paid well for your time but you get paid 4 dollars an hour when the store isn't open. So if your in sales and you start at 7am you're paid only 4 dollars working back breaking work till it opens at 10am. The division of labor is horrendous, certain departments get preferential treatment over others and it shows in their workload compared to others and how they are treated. They pay difference between departments can be a small or a giant chasm. You can be working 50 +hours and some one working only 30 and makes 2 times as much as you. Managements favoritism is grossly rampant and really unprofessional. Finally a really concerning issue is safety and there are many safety concerns. I've seen quite a few injuries to employees and customers including myself while working there and some were serious.
