Pros

The pay is great and benefits are fantastic! I've been averaging $80k as a rep for the past 4 years. Money making potential is endless if you have the drive. Having a retail schedule can be convenient when trying to get things outside of work done.

Cons

Not very easy to switch channels and get out of retail. Retail schedule is horrible during the holidays and work/life balance is definitely not there. Depending on your location, culture/management of your store may make your life more difficult than it has to be (I finally found a fantastic store!).

Pros

Good benefits, flexible work environment, use of latest technology, diverse set of people to work with, education benefits, nice recreational facility,

Cons

Once you're stuck at a position, you are almost stuck for life. Hard to move or get band changed. Promotions are very rare. A new hire might end up getting better position.

Pros

The salaries are okay, if you want personal growth you better learn it yourself

Cons

70% of IT Vice Presidents are Indian. Whole teams may have 1 American. Constantly having RIFS where the older Americans are let go and more new, young Indians are hired. There is no work balance, if they have something they want done, kiss your weekends or nights good-bye. There is little if any leadership. The VPs worry if you telecommute when they should be looking at strategic direction.
