Pros

The discount, and health insurance are amazing. Cool people tend to work there and happiness ensues

Cons

the pay sucks, they removed the one hour paid lunch, the stores are getting more and more corporate and there is an old guard so it is hard to advance without being super political

Pros

Worked in an environment where employees are valued!

Cons

As you'd expect, retail comes with it's share of downsides: the occasional grouchy customer or difficulty in obtaining holiday time. These were minor inconveniences. My experience at Half Price was good!
