Pros

A 10% discount after 30 days (now 90). Usually at least one store nearby. Flexible scheduling is helpful for college students. Co-workers are usually nice.

Cons

Very common to have hours cut. Anyone above Assistant Manager is likely out of touch with the average employee. Schedule changes are often denied now due to roster cutbacks and staffing holes. You will spend almost no time within your own department. Upper Management has become obsessed with facing/zoning instead of having product on the floor. Do not expect managers to offer constructive criticism, just plain criticism. Healthcare Coverage shouldn't even be listed as a benefit with how bad it is.

Pros

Flexibility in time - they won't fire you if you want to go to school or get sick like a regular human being. They work with your schedule.

Cons

They are understaffed in management or, rather, have managers who dissapear frequently off the job. And if there is an issue arising from that dissapearance, the subordinate will be punished first. Also, while they work all employees at more or less the same pace, men are promoted faster and more easily than women, and usually have to do less in those positions. Most of the assistants are women, but I wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy, since it tends to be 2-3 jobs in one for not nearly enough pay.
