Pros

Good place to get retail/management experience in college. Provides the opportunity to work in all areas of the stores and with all roles.

Cons

Low pay. As typical with most companies, interns were given the worst jobs and forced to perform the tasks that the management was unwilling to do.

Pros

Flexible work schedule if you are enrolled in college, great opportunities for lateral transfers, management was understanding (for part-time employees, anyway) about the occasional need for associates to work over scheduled hours b/c of customer demands and would make sure associates were sufficiently paid.

Cons

Poor opportunities for vertical transfers, some ill-mannered and dumb co-workers (although these were usually under age 21), even dumber customers, poor management and scheduling during expected peak customer traffic.

Pros

I would have to say as a student/employee, the best thing is the flexibility in your schedule. They work with you very well when it comes to putting education first.

Cons

Pay is not great. For some it's not worth the amount of work you have to do. I've learned a lot about running a store and feel very under appreciated. Managers have no clue. period just no clue. I really think Sam Walton would have fired over half the managers if he was still alive due to major case of head in butt.
