Pros

benefits are great, and the salary is decent. They are a very stable company, with good working values. The managment seems to help out when it gets busy. Overall decent job

Cons

I feel that it can be difficult to advance unless you want to put yourself in any random position in the store. for example, if you spend 5 years as a kitchen designer, and thats your specialty, to move up you may have to stock plants or sell bedsheets if a managment position opens in one of those areas, typical retail. Fast paced retail, can be extremely busy at times
