      Pros

      An amazing place to begin your career as they take chances and give great opportunities to people just starting out on their career.

      Cons

      Be prepared to give up on a personal life. There is no work/life balance. Which would be fine for some people if your were compensated fairly.....but you probably wont be.

      Pros

      In time, as you get to know and work with people, they become family. You have the annoying cousin, needy younger sister, detailed aunt, forgetful uncle, fun dad, naggy mom, you get the picture. The company training program is fantastic, but the actual training never happens according to plan--and sometimes that's for the best, because you get to see the real situations a manager is in every day. Once you're FT, benefits are great and I enjoy my month of paid vacation/year.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, unless you're in a very select group of friends within the company, it's hard to get to the top. You have to get through years of friendship or someone quitting to go up the ladder. If they don't like you, you can be the best you can be, it's not happening... they'll blame it on "people skills" or "the team is not on your side" when in reality, they're not in the store 24/7, and they don't see how your customers love you so much they bring you gifts. It's a shame they're losing people who can do the job and... know how to spell.

      Pros

      If you work hard, and have the right management team it's really easy to move up in the company. Pretty decent pay for retail, but the real pro of working are the people you work with.

      Cons

      Very little work/life balance. Corporate management has horrible communication, HR will tell you to do one thing while the commercial department says do something else which leaves the in store management very frustrated which can lead to a tense work environment for the rest of the staff.
