Great community of coworkers, but micromanaged
Pros: Great benefits, even for part-time employees. Different work zones so you're always doing something different.  Very picky in who they hire, so you're always around smart and talented individuals.  Lax dress code.  Great discounts!  They stress that feedback is always open and welcome, which while it can be frustrating at times, is overall effective and helpful.
Cons: They micro-manage the hell out of you.  ALSO if you ever plan on going into management, know this is a very difficult route if you come in as a specialist or really anything other than manager.  They like to hire outside the company for all manager/store leader positions.  Not saying it's impossible to work your way up (there's one manager at my store who did), but generally speaking it will take forever.  Apply as a manager or for the ASLP program.
