Pros

The pay for management and the bonus packages are a big plus. The potential for promotion is very high especially if you have good mobility.

Cons

It is Retail through and through. It has all the good and bad parts about retail including the long 11 to 15 hour days. the leadership varies from store to store. Continuing education is strongly discouraged.
