Pros
Coworkers. I couldn't imagine working with other sorts of people. I have met the funniest, smartest, most talented people - not because of college or a specific art scene, but because they gravitate towards this weirdo place. Believing in what you're selling. Getting a variety in your schedule - not just standing at a cash register for 7 hours. Good health insurance. Paid vacation and sick time. An hour lunch. Sweet discounts. For retail, the customers are nicer than the other places I've worked. You are encouraged to use critical thinking. They host art shows and have special events that benefit charities. You can submit ideas directly to the corporate level. The dress code is comfortable. The hours are flexible.
Cons
The workload can be stressful. Sometimes I have been given too much to be able to do completely right. This is considered normal. The pay, of course. It's retail, but at some point, the experience and knowledge (and the successful application of such) should be considered as valuable as it is. We invest so much in an employee's success and then lose all that money when they've been there a year and find a better paying job.
