Pros

Coming right out of college, SW offers a reasonable salary and excellent benefits. Being in a smaller store with great people allows for a very flexible schedule and an all around good working environment. Running a store is just like running your own small business; the results of your labors can be seen.

Cons

Bonuses are allocated based on sales increases for the most part. That would make every other year a good one. The base salary is not justified without the bonuses. There are a lot of part time employees working for this company, so if you are looking for benefits it may be a while before your chance comes around.

Pros

There's a lot of growth potential in this company.

Cons

This is a field where you start from the bottom 99% of the time. That means a lot of physical labor, hard work, and long retail hours. There's nothing wrong with working hard but a lot of people are surprised at how much is involved in this job. Also, this company stresses diversity but the field is predominantly white males. Very rarely are there minorities or women. They are trying their hardest to make it as diversified as possible, though.
