Pros

Company culture, comfortable and gentle sales structure. This is good place to be when you need a break from overbearing corporate retail demands.

Cons

The least structured retail environment I've ever been a part of...which I guess could be a pro, if you don't have a strong work ethic. No development, nothing to work towards.
