Pros
Merchandiser or Category Manager or Buyers dream. Full ownership of the product selection for your category. Monthly merchandise and marketing meetings to present new items and promotions going out to stores.
Cons
It is retail, folks. Everything at HQ is about supporting the stores in the field. Used to have mandatory week of working in a store for everyone at HQ, every year. HQ employees hated the prospect of being shot at store training and store employees hated HQ newbies coming into the store to be trained up all the time. Benefits for HQ employees were not competitive because they were same as benefits for store employees.
