Pros: Great company to work for. Benefits are nice: health insurance even at part time, fitness reimbursement, monthly travel stipend, student loan refinancing (through partner company), etc. Not based on commission so theirs no pressure to sell.
Cons: Retail at any level is tough. You do have some great customers, but also some terrible ones. It really depends on the store you are in, some have great leadership, some make it very political to move up. There is rampant sexism (harder for women to get promoted or taken seriously) in my store. For a 20 something college student or recent grad it's a great gig, getting into late 20s it's no longer feasible. Their raises are basically cost of living not based on talent, experience etc.
