McCrap of a job

Pros

Good benefits, plenty of room for advancement, lots of stores means lots of places to be able to work across the country.

Cons

You are a peon. Nothing is ever good enough. You will always be yelled at and berated for the one thing that wasn't perfect, and the 10 thousand things that were will be ignored. Also, if you have a life before you are hired, you won't have it after you've started to move up. The number of hours you are expected to work keeps going up and up, and you are made to feel guilty about requesting any time off (for doctors appointments, activities with your family or friends, etc.).

Pros

It is a great place to meet friends and relax by the back door. Can learn good life skills. OK

Cons

In can be dirty and the management can let you down at times. A good way to leave you on

Pros

Great benefit programs, great work/life balance programs, flexible times, mandatory sabattical every 10 years. Overall, a great environment and a great company to be a part of!

Cons

There are really not many downsides. The one that sticks out would be a large gap between employee job bands, especially at the director level and above.
