Pros

Retail Channel...There are lots of opprtunities for adavncement within the retail channel. My advice to anyone is stay in retail and get a management position. Then, you can more easily move to other areas of the company if you desire. They recognize talent and are willing to develop employees, not just hold them to an artificial timeline for advancement.

Cons

LOTS of favoritism all around. Business channel... It seems that once you get into this channel, you are stuck with little opputunity move advance. You are accountable for lots of things when dealing with corporate accounts but are givin no authority to handle situations. Everything has to go through a chain of command that does not make decisions in a timely manner.

Pros

You get great benefits, great training, great support from management, and plenty of opportunities for advancement. Also, a great atmosphere.

Cons

Structure is rigid. Performance evaluations based on small sample sizes and can make-or-break you. Schedules change every 6 months unless you have seniority.
