Pros

Discounts, encouragement, great working environment, family orientated, room to grow.... If your full-time or management you have opportunities to bonus. These negative comments must be people who where fired or had difficulty doing there job. As long as you make your goal and keep a great environment in your store this job rocks! If you love retail, you will love working in the store.... I am management in a Johnston Murphy store it honestly is the best job I have had. I have worked for Limited Brands and other companies and they treat there employees like crap.

Cons

For the Holidays management has to work 48 hours. You have to work for your money, being management at times when your dealing with paper work,floor moves,or shipment you can be paid less then min wage...When its slow season its SLLLLOOOOOOW! Be ready to not have the best paycheck.

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
