Pros

Challenging work in a fast-paced, youthful, work environment. The retail industry changes quickly which makes the job fun and challenging but can also create a lot of instability; particularly right now.

Cons

Often hard to get things done; over-collaborative. With sales flagging, high focus on expense reduction making work generally less fun and creating some risk of job loss via reductions. Also, pay for performance is a misnomer.

Pros

Great health and dental benefits if a full time employee. Starting pay is a lot higher if recruited externally. ($19.00 if in CA with a Bachelors degree)

Cons

Unrealistic high expectations from executive team leaders and store team leader. They all walk around and observe all of their hard working little minions and team leaders. No work-life balance especially during holidays. Can't spend thanksgiving or Christmas with yor family. Execs walk around with a smug face acting like they're gods gift to mankind. All they do is walk around delegating and not actually working.. super frustrating especially because many of these etls are recent college grads with no experience and have no clue how to respectfully manage and speak to a team with more experience than them.

Pros

Decent pay, good experience, always busy, decent high risk bonus, great for new college grads, great technology with an awesome camera system.

Cons

No work life balance if you're in a red store. If you're in AP expect to work 60-70 hour work weeks, if not more, doing something completely out of your work center. Very political when it comes to getting promoted. AP is like the step child work center that no one cares about anymore.
