Just retail...nothing more.
Pros: Culture intentions were good (initially). Good health/medical/vision benefits, employee stock discount. Great perks like free employee phones, low end Surface RT, affiliation benefits like discounted dealer lines for phone companies for about $30 unlimited everything. Sometimes we get free food and massages for Black Fridays.
Cons: Poor leadership in the store as well as parts of corporate. Disconnect in corporate culture and what was really happening in the stores. HR was not able to step in when leaderships were abusing their power and even preventing employee development.  No room for upward mobility unless you know someone from higher up or suck up. 

Disrespect of employees for their time and commitment and expect people to drop everything to attend to work related stuff.
