Pros

It is a great way to learn the retail business. They have a great training program and you meet a lot of people. There are people that have been there for years, but I think that's because it's easy to get too comfortable.

Cons

The pay is horrible, and very old school type management. No one is ready to think outside of the box, especially on the operations side. If you are a buyer, life is good. If you aren't forget about it, they don't care about you.

Pros

You are required to only work 8 hours a day or you go into over-time. Even for corporate employees.

Cons

The pay is horrible. Many people at Director and or VP level are idiots. The benefits suck. A lot of employees are unhappy and morale is low.

Pros

Depending on the project you could be have a 9-5 job. There seems to be a lot of people that arrive after 9 AM and leave before 5 PM.

Cons

Lack of training and proper budgeting. Benefits are horrible. It takes 6 months to be eligible for health and 1 year for 401k. The company seemed to have missed the midrange web applications of the late 90's early 2000's. They are trying to catch up now and it is painful.
