Pros

The Sunday off due to them being closed is really nice to guarantee time with loved ones. As a person involved in retail for a couple of decades, it's nice to work in a place where the clientele shops because they want to, not because they have to (ie. grocery where there can be some serious nasty attitudes). The pay is above scale.

Cons

The level of micro-management is so high as to be absurd. The challenge is not in the work that you do, but in turning down your intellect and creativity to the point that you're able to do it. There seems to be a mentality prevalent in upper management that the only people capable of decisions beyond perhaps shoe-tying reside in the corporate offices in OK City.
