Pros

Good first job to gain a solid basic skill set and exposure to retail. Pleasant colleagues. Hard work ethic. Admin nature of role means that you do not take the job home with you.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are severely lacking and unattractive. No offering of formal training or skills development. Underpaid for level of responsibility given. Terribly understaffed.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
