Pros

-they prefer to promote within -easy to get time off -increase in pay every few years -lots of different cultures work here

Cons

-can be very cliquish -workers frequently marry/date management, which causes friction -it's nearly impossible to get fired -you are required to take back ALL merchandise, practically. No matter how long it's been since the customer had it and (clearly) wore it or used it.

Pros

Buying at the NEX (Tax free items, Scratch Cards. Clearance, Gas) & Base Access (Gym, Commissary, Amenities)

Cons

immediate supervisors were ignorant in how to manage multiple tasks and people despite working over a decade at establishment. Completely ruined working environment for sales associates if they did not like you.
