Pros

Co-workers are intelligent and generally team players. Nice discount. Decent pay, especially for retail. Employees are empowered to make decisions without management input.

Cons

High pressure sales and sales tactics. Huge focus on meeting sales goals. Employee expectations are not clear and follow-up is poor. They tend not to promote from within.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
