Pros

Great benefits for retail management, health, dental vision, 401k, pension, tuition assistance. Other good things depend on your training store. My manager is flexible with off time, and scheduling so long as I get in 40-44 hours a week. The job is rather easy, if you don't know something, someone who works there probably does, so you pick things up by watching and listening. It helps to be flexible in with a very diverse customer base.

Cons

Some contractors are a little impatient but they are out the door quick. There is some heavy lifting and you are on your feet. I was a bit snooty knowing I was doing this when other college grads I knew were in cozy cubicles surfing ESPN, but I'm getting paid the same if not more. Some stores probably don't have good managers and you'll be working where they want you once it's time for you to be an assistant manager, but that's expected. It's retail... but it's better than most other retail gigs... hours, sundays closes most places. etc

Pros

Able to work independently. Overtime pay (in CA). Good 401k. Lots of room for advancement or moving to other cities. Strong company, even in the current recession.

Cons

Hours are long and the store are often understaffed. Slow to move on IT improvements, at least at the store level. Still a little of the 'good ol' boy' network.
