Pros

good entry level job, and they advertise that. however, once you get out of the "entry level" range i feel there is a disconnect in career advancement, and a disconnect in salary. i guess that is part of the problem of working with big companies in general.

Cons

as mentioned above, career advancement/development is lacking. Employees are not rewarded for obtaining advanced degrees either by promotion or pay increase. lateral moves are the norm

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
