Coming from a retail background, having a corporate job means having more balance between life & work. Everyone is very professional and they all want you to succeed in your role. Training doesn't stop in just a couple of weeks, they continue to train you and you continue to learn even after your 90 days. Gym access on campus is also a wonderful addition, you literally will not have an excuse to skip the gym after work. The Ross Cafe is also very convenient & Ross employees get 15% off. Employee discounts during double discount days is an amazing thing. Lastly, the room for growth and career progression is absolutely up to you and how far you want to go. If you explain that to your manager, she will help you get there.
Cons
Nothing so far! I pretty much enjoy working here, I'm constantly being challenged and work is never stagnant, you're always being pushed to your fullest potential and if you don't like that, then this place isn't for you.

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama.
Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours.
The employee discount is pretty awesome.
The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.
Cons
There was pressure to come in even when you were sick.
Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation.
Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
