Great company and benefits, but no advancement for non-management in retail
Pros: Exciting and innovative products. Customer appreciation for exceptional service in most instances. Excellent benefits.
Cons: Virtually no opportunity for advancement in career within retail unless you have come in as senior-level management. Easily typecast into level hired. With rare exceptions, retail management is typical of other retail companies - too much politics and crap. Retail customers are aware of company's desire for market share and growth by exceeding customer experience of competitors, and some will use that to smear an employee that does not give that customer what they want. Even then, they may complain and become a "detractor".
