Pros

Like myself, I work with very driven co-workers. Awesome discount. Able to transfer from store to store; state to state. Fast pace environment. Learn something new everyday. Everyday involves the people around you.

Cons

"Position" is more of a title next to your name. You are expected to know how, and do everything required on the sales floor with little or no pay increase.
