Pros

A good training program for new assocites

Cons

Upper management , work schedule, not being reconized when you have done something good for the company. Small raises not keeping up with the cost of living.

OK for "Right Now", but don't plan on a career

Pros

Friendly coworkers and managers -- almost everyone at my store had been there for awhile, so it was like being part of one somewhat-big sometimes dysfunctional family. My department probably had the least amount of turnover. That alone nearly made up for everything else.

Cons

Little to no opportunity for advancement. If you make the lower management tier (assistant dept. manager, dept. manager), it's for certain upper management has already pegged you as promotable/not promotable to another position without you realizing it. If you're in the latter category, you're stuck, no matter how many times you apply for a particular position. It makes for a lot of disgruntled employees.

Fun place; good people

Pros

The people are generally very personable, which makes sense for a customer facing job. Very flexible schedules, can easily work around a busy extra-curricular life.

Cons

Pay isn't great, but it makes for a good first job. Sometimes managers let their "power" go to their head. Definitely feels like you were working for a huge company and not just a corner store.
