Pros

discount is main benefit but as retail gets more competive that is starting to disappear and 401k is available to everyone even part timers which is good

Cons

advancement is hard for part time. to move to full time jobs they require you to be available for more than 50 hours in a week even though you can only work 40

Pros

discount you get. management is easy going. super stylish blue shirts are versatile outside of work. name tags are particularly shiny. employees are young, youthful, beautiful, sexual, and bi-curious.

Cons

salary isn't fantastic. upward mobility is nonexistent. not enough pizza parties. customers are a real downer to this job. this position would be perfect if you never had to deal with customers. lots of buzzing and blinking and chirping electronics all around the store. the possibility that at any time, if computers and the like where to become self aware, that this workplace would be in the "danger zone" of their human-wrath.
