Pros

Get real world experience. On the sales side of the business, you get a lot of customer contact. If you work in the store, you learn what it takes to run a business with the support of a company behind you. You have a lot of opportunity to move around the company

Cons

The hours in the stores can be long. Most stores are open 7 days a week. Sometimes you are subject to working 7 days a week and this type of work can take weeks to change, Upper management sometimes seems very disintrested in your situation because "thats is what they went though" type attitude. You will see a culture that is strong, but the senior management demostrates many times that they do not care about the people under them, just the only the numbers.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
