Pros

Set hours. I met some great people in my customers. If you like working on your own without direct supervision it may be for you.

Cons

Pay is enough to survive on, barely. Upper management is out of touch with the front line. No room for advancement. They hire upper management from outside the company only. Every few months there is a new gimmick on how to make the company more money. Employees on the front line are treated as inferiors instead of the assets. They will bend over backwards for customers but will not take care of their employees or properly maintain the facilities because of budgetary constraints. They are more likely to answer to stock holders than those who are running the business on the front line. The employees can become catty gossips without proper direction. It can be like working in a small town where everyone is nice to your face. The environment breeds resentment toward fellow employees instead of teamwork. This is a very toxic place to work.

Pros

a good place to learn the hard, cruel world of Retail. You'll learn quickly to how to do the best job you can for the customer in spite of required scripts and robotics. The customers and co-workers are your only support system. However, if you see PS as a stepping stone to "somewhere-else" then it can be useful for a small time, but keep a safety net handy and plenty of ear plugs for the incessant whip cracking.

Cons

emails, memos, and meetings are heavily riddled with threats regarding performance; management style is extreme micro-managing; stress levels and pressure are enormously out of proportion for the product. Storage has a built-in customer base; but PS browbeats it's employees for that one extra sale.
