Pros

The partners are fun, often times they are the reason one goes to work. Some stores have a great community feel where your customers feel like part of an extended family.

Cons

Inadequate compensation for the amount of work the job entails. Simply impossible to have things 100% or even 75% to company standard. Constantly reminded that if something goes wrong you will be written up or terminated. Personal vendettas have held people back from moving up in the company despite their qualifications.
