Pros

The people you work with are wonderful.

There is a ton of room for development if you are willing to put the work in, with no pay increase.

It is by far the best retail company you can work for.

The CEO's decisions aren't popular, but they're the right decisions after the mistakes the former CEO made.

Also, the benefits are awesome.

Cons

In order to move up the ladder, you really have to be 'in' with District and Group level management. People working to promote you will tell you that you need to sell yourself well. You can be an awesome leader and dominate your current role, but it'll mean nothing if you have a hard time talking to your stone-faced Group leader. On the flip side, you can be terrible at your job, but if you can talk yourself up, there isn't a position you can't get.

Advice to Management

Promote more based on achievements, not on social standing within the company.
