Pros

Great place to work. Employees are given a clear career path and tools with lots of room for vertical growth.

Cons

Difficult to change career paths once you get embedded in an area. Recommend one actively research other areas early in career in order to successfully change directions without financial set back.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
