Pros

Diverse work that will keep you challenged everyday Co-workers and peers lead to a team mentality Knowledgeable peers to learn from when they aren't over-worked

Cons

Little-to-no training. Often thrown into the "fire" and expected to sink or swim. Management does not prioritize proper support for their staff and workers and instead focuses on the bottom line.

Pros

Not really sure there is a pro.

Cons

This company cares about profits and its managers. Many times you spend more time fighting within your own company vs its other stores. No training available either.
