Pros

Retail and customer service experience, if you work full time there are benefits and decent vacation time after a year, there are quarterly bonuses depending on how well the store does. My particular store has a really fantastic group of associates to work with

Cons

Dealing with customers that come into the store with the attitude that they are better than Walmart. Dealing with management that can treat you like dirt under their feet. The pay for what you deal with is embarrassing. You have to be fairly buddy-buddy with management to move up

Pros

Pay. Donations to the community.

Cons

Quite a bit of hiring from outside. Lover management overworked.. "Buddies" promoted over qualified people. Little focus on associates treatment - as scorecards can be and are manipulated to companies benefit.

Pros

Use as stepping stone to get a real job. they offer rotten benefits, make you work through breaks, tell you to do your traing at home on your days off, treat incompetent upper mgmt like royalty, don't know the meaning of workng smart- create endless nonsensical reports, and waste time on conferernce calls.

Cons

24/7 work, no respect of life-work balance. Expected to work off hours at home. out of date technology, they literally won't even put paper in the copy machine, give you no training, expect you to buy your own equipment, no respect, dishonest in pre-employmnet interviews, evasive when asked about expected work hours
