Pros

Its a job, in this economy, something is better than nothing. The benefits package is a nice thing to have, but with no time off to use any of it, what do you really gain? All of the holidays that we used to have off so we could spend time with our families, the stores are now open, with few employees willing to work them, so the store manager has to work to fill the gaps.

Cons

High pressure from upper management to get things done, and if its not done 100% correct, your job is immediately on the line. Be careful how high up the corporate ladder you go, because the harder you can fall.
