Pros

Somewhat good pay,paid weekly, low lighting in departments (so that your eyes don't hurt), some opportunities for promotions, you can have 40 hours per week even as a part-time employee.

Cons

Managers often won't share important information (pay raises, pay minimums, schedule changes) unless asked directly about it specifically, 'premier' stores expect too much to be accomplished by a limited crew, at or just above minimum wage, HORRIBLE Union contract (in Colorado, at least), seniority is the absolute key to how people treat you, you will stay 'part-time' until you're a manager or have been there for two years no matter how many hours you work (so no benefits), and they won't like to train you past the first day.
