Pros

Deep discounts;working with people who for the most part have a great outlook on life, a higher class of customer when membership is required, you will meet new friends, outdoor activities are encouraged,

Cons

Retail Scheduling, Pay is low, the only 'real' Manager is the store owner, all others with those titles still punch a time clock (yuck!); Store management is secretive regarding why decisions are made, poor management communication from store management, focusing on saving a very few dollars occasionally when store is empty, no consistency in tools or processes,
