      Pros

      Lots training, potential to have good managers, hourly rate for sales was higher then other similar job positions. Managers have lots of responsiblity (though many dont use well) If you get a good manager it can make for a very good experiance

      Cons

      Glass ceiling for sales floor employees, lack of recongition for sales effort. For advancement to manager, its kind of luck of the drawn. Manager expect long/late hours during holidays. Can really be a drag on the personal life

      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.
