Pros

Very professional, very clear about what your duties and roles are, which is surprisingly uncommon in retail. The cafetaria is the best lunch-room I've ever had at any job - the I believe $5 lunch buffets everyday were awesome and the staff who served it were very nice. Also, they were generous with breaks, which is not always the case in Alberta as they are not technically mandatory.

Cons

Not many opportunities to get to know your co-workers... part of this is just the professional atmosphere, the managers are a bit more serious than some retail settings. Also, the incentive program is funny but also pretty lousy - 15 perfect cashes for a free $0.99 ice cream is pretty lame, to be honest.

Pros

Creative and low stress environment

Cons

Drama and flat corporate structure. Lots of lateral opportunities if willing to re-locate. None if you want to stay put.

Pros

Cool atmosphere and 15% discount. Opportunity for decent benefit package if stay long enough.

Cons

Getting time off was a pain, and the sales of the store was more important than customer service. Often did not have enough employees working on busy days.
