Pros

Sales associates recieve up to 3% commission based on sales per hour

Cons

Employees are referred to as replaceable and do not recieve enough hours to live. Management roles strip you of commission and the role formerly referred to as sales Manager is now a "senior sales associate" position where the only positive reinforcement is commission and full time status, at which you still don't get 40 hours a week. If you fall below your sales per hour goal by even a single cent you will be fired.
