Pros

Great employees and work environment. Lot's of structure. Goals are clear. Ongoing training.

Cons

Advancement structure is very biased. If you are hoping to move up based on merit, look elsewhere. Advancement is largely based on who you work to impress, and not what you actually do. They choose "rising stars" based on saying things to the right people at the right time, vs putting in your time and getting things done.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
