Cons
Sales projections have been a bit erratic during the economic downturn, placing a lot of pressure on retail sales and management to perform in tough times. Holiday hours are long. Career advancement is difficult. Higher level management jobs rarely open up. Too much emphasis is placed on the performance appraisal given by your immediate manager. If there is a personality conflict or favoritism, there are no checks and balances to ensure that the feedback is accurate and not rooted in personal dislike or favoritism of the employee.
