Pros
You must take on a lot of responsibility so it helps develop time management skills. It's a good place to start a career to learn how businesses are run from the ground up. There's a discount but it's not huge but every bit helps when you have a family.
Cons
The life/work balance is horrible, especially during any holiday. This is the norm with retailers, but until you live it, you truly cannot imagine what it's like. The opportunity for personal growth is slim to none but on the other side there is opportunity for advancement if your district manager likes you. The company expects way to much from their employees, forcing managers to work very long hours, which is why there is a lot of turnover.
