Pros
The stock is pretty good. Also tere is a certain formula you can follow to def get promoted: Don't socialize with your coworkers! Management does not like to mingle with the commoners, so just do your job and dont get caught up w the soap operas that go on there. Especially no dating anyone! If you simply do your duties, NEVER let them see you on break or standing around, and keep applying for advancement, you WILL get it eventually. I would even say start applying for promotions as soon as you get there. Because, they almost always reject you the 1st couple of times, so the sooner you get it out of the way the better. I've seen them promote people to dept manager in as little as 3mths after they got there! and from there, they can go to asst store manager, and make 45-60k without so much as a college degree. A store manager starts at 60k but bonuses anywhere from 15-25k a year. It will piss off everyone else, but stick to the formula and you can make pretty good money. It retail is ok with you... but I cannot emphasize enough to not enter a social circle there
Cons
Senior management is pretty competent, but you will hardly ever see them unless you become a store manager. And store management is def luck of the draw. (Read formula for success above), Literally anyone can become a store manager, and whether or not they are actually qualified for it is pretty much a gamble... And plus its retail, enough said
