Pros

Great discount, useful products, decent pay for retail work, great people, pretty good training for product knowledge, and flexible schedules

Cons

Corporate rules can be a pain, LOTS of inventory with little space for it, often understaffed on busy days, too few hours per week, blackout dates during Thanksgiving - Christmas, and stringent time-off request policy year-round
