Pros

quality merchandise, great employee discount, and many long term employees that were like family.

Cons

Hard to have a work life balance. District Mgr always encouraged us to take vacation time yet the blackout calendar was ridiculous and it was impossible to find a few weeks that you could actually get away. Under the direction of Ron Johnson, everything was in crisis mode...task upon task and emergency upon emergency, so much so that customer interaction was not the #1 priority.
