Pros

There used to be extremely smart and experienced retail people that worked there. The new management has gutted the place in the past 8-10 months so this may not be the case now.

Cons

Bad managers at all levels - actually gets worse as you go down the management chain Too much politics between the managers in different departments in order to get work done

Pros

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Cons

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
