Pros

-pays better than similar retail stores -flat corporate structure gives you access to people in charge -treats it's employees with respect, good benefits, and plenty of paid holidays -preference toward hiring internal when other positions open up, which gives you the opportunity move up more easily if you have the experience -the company is very socially conscious -it is retail, so you get a discount! 25% in the U.S. which is not as much as other retail stores, mainly because the prices are already low to begin with

Cons

-once again, it is retail, which means weekends will most likely be spent working -the company does not allow manager's schedules to work around schooling
