Pros

Enjoyable work. You will never be bored. Must people are enjoyable. The company is financailly very stable. Don't have to worry about it going under.

Cons

OK pay. What you make in a year is really dependent on how much overtime you work. Health insurance is expensive. No company retirement plan. They try to spin the profit sharing as your "retirement plan" however that money barely brings your yearly total to the bottom side of what other employers offer with base pay. Training, for associate buyers, is basically "here's the basics of these three programs. Figure everything else out. Don't mess up. But if you do, I will tell you you're wrong but not tell you why or how to fix it."

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
