Pros

Easy to move up in company, has it's fun moments, hires interesting people, hard to get fired from, paid parking pass for upper store management, health insurance for full time employees

Cons

Store location falling apart with bandaid repairs from home office, discourages wage discussion between employees, pressure from upper management to take on more responsibility without additional compensation for all store roles (sales associate, key holder, asm, gm), going above and beyond your responsibilities is considered "Meets Expectations", home office routinely steels artists' imaging and has to MOS stock in stores

Pros

Fun. easy going retail environment

Cons

The company hired me to move from one city to another 2 hours away and then closed the location they hired me to work at 5 months after hiring me. I found out later this had to have been in the works all along and it was not communicated to me that this was to be the case. I left a job I had had for 7 years to move to a new city for a fresh start only to shortly after have a piece of that start removed by a company with no compassion. They then offered me a lesser position at another location where the pay wasn't even the least bit comparable. This truly could have been a lovely position where it not for all that got in the way.
