Pros

It's a job in the tough economic climate of 2008

Cons

I think they hold some people back while pushing lessor people forward. You've heard the slogan "Right store, Right Price" but the unspoken one is "Right place, right time" I have seen people with years of loyalty be turned down for jobs that they were born to be in (and they have the education for it). I've seen people who've been with the company for 6 months or less get promoted without any experience needed. Also, they don't pay people what they're worth. The only way to make money is to be a Unit Manger...but some people's skill sets are different and shouldn't other people make good money in the positions they're in. They don't give enough kudos to justify the small amount of pay. And how about a raise that is at least that of the rate of inflation?
