Pros

hands on experience is good, you're "thrown into the fire" in some senses but you catch on quick...the chance to learn new skills in the industry

Cons

way too many to list but some touch points are low pay/hours ratio...too corporate and "textbook". Managers are too restricted which makes no sense, since they are the ones familiar with local trends and markets, not corporate up in PA.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
