Good flexible benefits; difficult to move up.

Pros

Medical, dental and vision offered. Clean and safe environment. Pretty decent pay for work performed. Diverse workforce. Tuition benefits. 401(k) match.

Cons

Unless you have high enough GPA to make it into a management training program, be prepared for an arduous road to promotion. Few open positions for advancement, and individuals are often selected for promotion for reasons other than qualifications. In other words, it seems to be more of "who you know" rather than what you know.

Pros

Steady job, nothing more, nothing less.

Cons

The company will cut and slash employee hours at any time. In store managers must comply with micro-managing from corporate offices making work very difficult for employees

Pros

Flexible schedule, start with vacation time, health benefits, good management experience, opportunities for advancement, varied tasks, not a desk job

Cons

Weekends, holidays, retail environment with uneducated contractors, physical labor (50lbs+ not uncommon). A full truck to unload of pallets stacked with paint. Advancement is possible but takes longer than they let on.
