Business outlook
Pros
Huge Business! Exposure to lots of the 80s and 90s business thinking. The compensation is good, but use it like all "outside" people do. As a stepping stone. Get the title and move on. The leadership fluxes so much that it's no wonder nothing gets done. The inventory is so crazy it's hysterical. The leadership does a lot of PR work, but not a lot of actual work.
Cons
No longer relevant business, leadership is too worried about how it "looks" than what it does. Directors and above CYA and doing what they've always done. They promote from within, the problem is that most of the "within" is uneducated and there's no teaching done. So you have leaders that don't know anything but how to run a store.
