Pros
Plenty of opportunity to advance if you're willing to work hard and go the extra mile. A great place to learn some new skills and for a student it's a perfect place to take on some responsibility and gain some real world experience while helping pay your way through school.
Cons
Frequently the needs of associates on the store level are ignored by Market, Regional, and other corporate Management in favor of maximizing profitability and decreasing cost, so they can look good to their own bosses. Many stores also have "blockers" - long time associates who do a bare minimum, and get by on the hard work of others' looking to advance in their careers, but hold back up and coming associates from getting into positions of leadership.
