Pros
Employee discounts on merchandise were on par with what you'd expect from any retailer, camaraderie with fellow associates, abundant locations throughout the south
Cons
As stated in the headline, you don't go into retail for the professional stimulation, rewards, and to make a career. More often than not the work is tedious, monotonous, and if your colleagues are "seasoned" because they can't make it anywhere else, you can expect them to be generally disgruntled and get pissed when you don't do things their way. Employee turnover is generally high (at least in the store I worked in), and it wasn't helped by customers generally being rude to and obnoxious in front of associates.
