Pros

There really aren't any, good job for a college student or starting out. Pay for commissioned associates is adequate, but you take periodic pay cuts when they modify the commission structure.

Cons

Pay, certainly. No chance for promotion in a dying company. They need to turn around and soon. You'll never make more money than you do the first day you start.

Pros

I can just stand around and talk to people (im a salesman), they wont fire you unless you steal or do something really dumb, pay is pretty good for sales (if you are good/decent/know how to talk to people).

Cons

problems dont get fixed as quickly as they should, its retail, so you get bad customers sometimes. They mess around with your commission rates (at least they have recently, i guess its because of the bad economy and whatnot.) MCA's (people who clean up clothes etc dont get paid what they should. theyre the hardest working people in the store and get paid minimum. they were paid higher, until the minimum wage was increased. at my store, the air conditioning goes out a lot. they might just be doing that to save money though. thats what ive heard from some people.
