Pros

Job security, location (they're everywhere), I can't think of anything else....actually, depending on your position, it can be pretty easy to slack off and do nothing without it being very noticeable. I've spent the majority of my 8 years there walking around talking to people or playing computer games.

Cons

Wages aren't that great and it's based solely on how long you've been there so there is no motivation to do a good job. Customers can be absolutely horrible. You're expected to be available all day, every day including holidays. It can be pretty hard to achieve full-time status. If you're part-time it takes two years before you're eligible for health insurance. Everyone is not treated equally. Management plays favorites.

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
