Pros

Fun place to work with incredible coworkers.

Cons

No advancement opportunities unless you befriend management. Management is so busy figuring out how to squeeze the last dime out of their customers pockets that the staff is ignored and bullied into pushing customers to buy as much as possible. Need it or not.
