Pros
You learn a lot about innovative, process-driven retail. Generally, it is a forward-looking company that is organized and well managed. It is a diverse company and you get to work with many different kinds of people.
Cons
There is a lot of work to do and work/life balance is not well-supported. The philosophy seems to be "faster, faster, faster" and this pace and intensity permeates the entire culture and all the job functions. It's effective and keeps the retailer at the forefront of innovation and customer service, but it wears on the employees and you can only work at this pace for so long.
