Pros

Subsidized cafeteria. Good people to work with in some business areas (outside of IT).

Cons

Too many to write - there are majorly incompetent employees in IT who are just there to collect a paycheck. A key sign of incompetent staff is incompetent leadership and that includes the managers and directors. Lots of backstabbing, gossiping and floundering amongst IT - especially in the application maintenance area.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
