Pros

Pay is slightly above average for the area, but includes pension, 401K, increasingly more paid time off (after 3 years I was getting 6 hours per pay period. capless sick pay, all federal holidays are paid holidays, long term disability, shopping privileges at Navy Exchange and www.mynavyexchange.com. All around excellent company to work for which cares very much about your longevity and well-being

Cons

At times, it can be difficult to complete projects to your liking due to 'red tape'. Many people have input and because of that, your end result may not be what you had in mind.

Pros

You always knew when there was a sale going on.

Cons

They only hired people that knew people higher up. They didn't hire people that were qualified. Hard to move up if you don't know someone up. I was well qualified for the job and yet I didn't get to stay in the Main store instead they moved me to the Home Gallery.

Business Outlook

Pros

Can make some good friends. Good balance of work-life - very different than working for an outside retailer. Can actually talk with buyers and make changes to merchandise assortment. Do have a change to apply for overseas jobs - but don't count on getting it.

Cons

Very political - its all in who you know. Even if you work really hard and do a good job in increasing the revenue if the regional manager doesn't like you can forget about going anywhere with the company.
