Pros

The culture is great - respectful of people, open communication, great work-life balance. Lots of opportunities to connect with others. Learning and development is encouraged.

Cons

Once you get "pegged" in a certain field it is difficult to move out into a different field. The top leaders are too easily swayed into making poor decisions for the company and try to be something for for everyone (which means they have lost their focus).

If you start out on registers up front it can be difficult to learn on the floor and find a department especially if you are not selling enough credit cards and memberships

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
