      Pros

      Steadily growing company that is turning profit in the retail industry, a rare feat considering the current economy. Remarkable business plan that prevents the company from closing stores or result in loss of profits, rarely taking unnecessary risks. Great sales and interpersonal skills training. Superb customer relations development. Networking ability preferred with opportunities to recruit (or be recruited) regularly presenting themselves. Career advancement opportunities are regularly presented. Incredible personal relationship opportunities. If youthful, co-worker relationships is outstanding. Store discount. Commitment program displays the concern with success of individuals and team instead of the ultimate dollar. Varying from area to area, upper level management regularly allows stores to exercise autonomy in the day-to-day operation of the store.

      Cons

      Most advancement requires personal mobility. Long retail hours, regularly put in 50+ hours in week. Commission based pay is not as competitive as presented, requiring an almost impossible effort in order to earn what one would at a competitor. Favoritism, like in any sort of people business, does come into play. Expectations of using all of the company's business builders can become burdensome. Youthful teams can often lead to emotional and passionate situations that can grow tiresome. Depending on area, communication with upper-level management can be sparse.
