Pros

Fast Paced, you wont be bored. You will learn a lot quickly. Pay and benefits could be better, no tutition reimbursement (but it has been talked about since I started working there) The opportunities to move around within the company are high. Possibility of being involved in project groups is high, if you know to ask and pursue the opportunities on your own.

Cons

You will learn a lot quickly without much training. Trained by your peers, hopefully they have the time and the interest to help you. No formal training program or opportunities to learn new skills and advance with a base knowledge of the next position.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
