Pros

Great Place to plan out a great career! We are like one big family in the seattle district, we would all go great lengths for one another! There is great pay great benefits, even in these hard economic times.

Cons

It can be very difficicult to be promoted when you are having to go against the MTPS. We don't really think its very fair for the rest of us in the company that have worked so hard and for so long just to be ignored. The MTP program should really be re-evaluated, a longer training period for one example, and you shouldn't have to have a certain college degree just to be eligable for the program. We keep hiring MTP's when there are so many that deserve to be promoted and can't because there are to many MTP's in the company.

Pros

Great benefits for retail management, health, dental vision, 401k, pension, tuition assistance. Other good things depend on your training store. My manager is flexible with off time, and scheduling so long as I get in 40-44 hours a week. The job is rather easy, if you don't know something, someone who works there probably does, so you pick things up by watching and listening. It helps to be flexible in with a very diverse customer base.

Cons

Some contractors are a little impatient but they are out the door quick. There is some heavy lifting and you are on your feet. I was a bit snooty knowing I was doing this when other college grads I knew were in cozy cubicles surfing ESPN, but I'm getting paid the same if not more. Some stores probably don't have good managers and you'll be working where they want you once it's time for you to be an assistant manager, but that's expected. It's retail... but it's better than most other retail gigs... hours, sundays closes most places. etc
