Pros
The gene pool is pretty shallow in most stores, so if you work hard, it's easy to move up the ranks. Tons of cool gear, great employee discount, decent benefits and flexible scheduling (within reason).
Cons
Very high turnover at all levels, a promotion might mean moving across the country, you have to sell extended warranties (blech!), and since it's retail, you have to work nights + weekends + holidays. Sales can be a vicious cycle too. The more you sell, the more they expect you to sell.
