Pros

Get a lot of experience within the industry regardless of job function, learn a lot from superiors and co-workers, most jobs use a significant amount of computer technology which is transferrable to other jobs (internal and external). Performance review is great. HQ is really nice place to work

Cons

A little stuffy and old feeling at times. Many life-time workers @ SW (25+ years). Takes longer to move up when you start out fresh because of office politics, "everyone has their place" (This is not an idea held by all management and is usually the opinion of someone not supervising you anyway -- ie: People who have been in entry-level jobs for 15+ years).

Pros

Benefits are great, from retirement to health insurance to vacation. All very good.

Cons

Underpaid. Many companies doing same kind of work pay more. Part time hours have been cut down to a minimalist amount. Most stores in area run with a manager and assistant and no full time employees
