Pros

The company is a survivor and makes smart and courageous business decisions. IT leadership is undergoing a transformation; focusing on performance and results by identifying and aggressively attacking top priorities & business opportunities.

Cons

Retail is a tough cyclical business and these are the "bad times" (now in 2008); so there is some degree of uncertainty about the future. Fortunately I have faith we will pull through it without "cutting into the meat" and emerge as a stronger competitor.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
