      Pros

      Good team members, great media, great discounts. You get exposed to all sorts of books, movies, and music that you wouldn't have thought about before.

      Cons

      No interest in enforcing sexual harassment policy. Company is cutting back on time off/sick days. No regular schedule. Corporate is an old boys club. The pay is bad.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very casual dress/hair policy, hard to get fired once you are past your intro period, vacation and sick time accumulates fast. Yearly raises.

      Cons

      The usual retail customer annoyances plus managers that are not very involved and are therefore unaware of problems and not very open to solving them. Not much room to move.
