Pros

Long History and stability of the company compared to other retailers

Cons

Lots of politics! Be prepared to work for people with big egos. Also, despite the fact that they claim to be continually enhancing our benefits, I feel like the healthcare and dental are still EXTREMELY expensive (and lacking) compared to other employers.
