Pros
Overall, it was a good learning experience for anyone interested in retail, both corporate and not. It's a dynamic work environment with plenty of opportunity to pick up new skills.
Cons
There were long hours, especially since it is retail and you work late hours and holidays. In addition, there seemed to be some favoritism and if you're in the "in" crowd, you'll get promoted quickly but if you're not, then chances are no one will notice you. It can be tough and given the company's trying to cut cost whenever possible, it can be difficult to provide great customer service and have adequate personnel to deal with customers and other store-related issues.
