Pros

You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

Cons

None that I can think of

Cons

Compensation for area managers is not good. You can hit hit all your goals and improve your department and still get a meets expectation on your annual review.
