Pros

Visual Merchandising was an interesting place to start a retail career. I learned a lot about getting the store ready for weekly sales and promotions. I also learned how to place weekly radio and print ads that came from corporate. Great place to learn and get your feet wet.

Cons

Money was always a sore spot. They did not pay the best, but they also were not the worst. Lower end of the pay scale for both starting and pay raises.
