It's good for a retail job!
Pros: Great peers, good pay for retail, initial training is in-depth and excellent. They are good at hiring fun, social people. It's easy to make close friends and that makes coming to work a lot more fun. Discounts are pretty good. 
At the end of the day, for a retail job, it's great, but people shouldn't come into it expecting that they are going to go from a Specialist to the marketing team or something like that.
Cons: It's very competitive if you're looking to get out of retail and do something more organisational, and some of the management can be.....frustrating. Many are unwilling to get out on the floor and actually help customers which, when it's busy and everyone is in the same color shirt can give a confusing message to customers. Additionally, they usually play favorites for promotions and "career experiences" so if the impression you make is negative in the first couple of weeks, it's going to take you a LONG time to get around that.
