Pros

Benefits, teamwork, collaboration, friendship, rewarding environment. You are expected to go to training (provided by the company) to enhance your leadership / management skills. You are expected to perform at a high level, and will have management support if you work efficiently and effectively. I learned a great deal about project management, and had the opportunity to attend great training workshops/seminars.

Cons

Very busy, always working to maintain competitive edge. But this is true of most corporations, so in that respect, it is expected to work overtime. However, I enjoyed the environment.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
