Pros

discount you get. management is easy going. super stylish blue shirts are versatile outside of work. name tags are particularly shiny. employees are young, youthful, beautiful, sexual, and bi-curious.

Cons

salary isn't fantastic. upward mobility is nonexistent. not enough pizza parties. customers are a real downer to this job. this position would be perfect if you never had to deal with customers. lots of buzzing and blinking and chirping electronics all around the store. the possibility that at any time, if computers and the like where to become self aware, that this workplace would be in the "danger zone" of their human-wrath.

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.
