Pros

Family like atmopshere when I started. The employee discount. Flexible schedule if you remain a drone. If this is a second job or your never wish to climb the ladder you'll be fine.

Cons

Low wages. Becareful of what you do or say, as with most retail it's a petty-gossip entrenched retail chain. Dont expect support from upper district management, unless your friends with your DL. Advance has removed its assistant manager support from many weaker or non-prductive stores, expecting the slack to be absorbed by the GM and the rest of the Team.
