Pros

-Discount (if you like the merchandise) -Used to be flexible with hours (school, 2 jobs, etc - before fair and square)

Cons

-New pricing and display program (and the thousands of layoffs that went with it) -Lower management there to "look pretty" and that's about it -No longer flexible with hours (after fair and square) - must have 100% availability and cannot move shifts around to attend college or a 2nd job
