Pros

Good employee discount perks as well as access to pro deals for high end vendors. Company does a good job encouraging further education on all products carried in the store. Generally (at least at my location) a good vibe amongst employees and management.

Cons

It's retail, wages are lower than we all want and often staff are asked to do more than that wage would cover. People can tend to be rude. Your hours per pay period are rarely met, even 'full time' employees usually only hit 38 hrs per pay period.

Pros

Work-life balance Creative fulfillment Team Camaraderie

Cons

None. Any cons would have been related to the state of economy and witnessing layoffs.
