Pros

Fun, interesting coworkers, great discounts on merchandise, quarterly bonuses (when they actually come that is), first pick of incoming merchandise.

Cons

Can be cliquey, strict reviews make salary raises rare or negligible, irate customers at the buy counter, near impossible to move up the corporate ladder.

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
