Pros

Nice place to work if you don't mind dealing with all sorts of customers. Employee discounts are nice if you enjoy spending your measly paycheck on the over priced products. My coworkers are really nice but don't seem interested in working there. very few are interested in career advancement as they use the place as a stepping stone for better jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Not enough product training and opportunities for advancement can be skittish. For example I wanted to advance to an assistant manager position but was told that I do not qualify and of course was passed over by someone else who was new and did not have any managerial experience.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
