      Still the best job environment in retail

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers, employee discounts, relatively flexible work schedule, fantastic health/vision/dental benefits for 20 plus hours/week employees, generally the best customers in retail too. Generally good work/life balance, even managers aren't supposed to work more than 40 hours per week.

      Cons

      Besides the obvious- retail work hours= most weekends and holidays you are working, and many evenings as well.
