Pros

Employee discount (cost +5% after 30 days of employment), growth opportunities (exceptional employees can be promoted to supervisor within 2 weeks but is a rare instance), get paid for excellent ideas on how to improve the company (ideas voted the best and implemented in the company get paid $100,000)

Cons

Retail environment, Retail schedule, Black Friday

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
