Business Outlook
Pros
(Corporate) learning the innerworkings of retail strategy components. Multi faceted learning environments from a base retail perspective, ability to learn about many areas if you can find a group with a mentor. Although strategic leadership is fragmented, there are some areas that can provide a good foundation of learning. However, it's best to get first hand knowledge about the group you are interested in prior to working in it.
Cons
Lack of vision, incredible inner politics. There are some groups populated with people who really want to do well but more often than not are not able to due to politics. The result is massive turnover, or acceptance to the status quo regardless of what the right thing to do is.
