Pros

Enjoyable work. You will never be bored. Must people are enjoyable. The company is financailly very stable. Don't have to worry about it going under.

Cons

OK pay. What you make in a year is really dependent on how much overtime you work. Health insurance is expensive. No company retirement plan. They try to spin the profit sharing as your "retirement plan" however that money barely brings your yearly total to the bottom side of what other employers offer with base pay. Training, for associate buyers, is basically "here's the basics of these three programs. Figure everything else out. Don't mess up. But if you do, I will tell you you're wrong but not tell you why or how to fix it."

Good pay. Most coworkers are excellent to work with.

Cons

Scheduling is horrible. Work til 10 pm and have to be back in at 6 am. Store management plays favorites and talks smack about non favorites and Promotes accordingly Doesnt recognize Team memebers for jobs well done. Belittling. Unprofessional.
