Pros

Met some incredible people. Good benefits.

Cons

Retail environment--did not think it would be so "retail"; wasn't really hoping for this as I was coming straight out of college and looking for my first "real" job. Not very professional. Did not feel it was a great place to grow professionally. Hours--Mall hours, those are never fun. Customer Service--Deal with rude and entitled people. Elon Musk slander--this was everyday. Could be overbearing at times.

Co-workers are great, but upper management circle is political

Pros

Co-workers are great. Willing to help. Willing to teach.

Cons

If you fly too close to the sun, it gets political. I felt that management level were no longer actually working, but busy fighting off other management to not lose responsibility or trying to gain recognition.
