Pros

You receive relatively good pay and benefits for managers at a stable employer. Everybody should work retail for at least a part of their career as a personal growth experience. If you get into a good store situation with proper staffing levels it can actually be an enjoyable job.

Cons

Training is minimal despite stated policy otherwise. Policy is you move stores at least every two years, increasing the probability of serving time in a bad one for quite awhile. Some stores are understaffed, which means you preside over a slowly declining store quality as things get pushed off or not done at all. Constant cost cutting and slashing staff hours not endearing to lower level employees, so managing is more challenging.
