Pros

Base pay is excellent for an entry level retail management career. PTO/vacation is fairly generous and accrues quickly. You may have up to have absences without needing a doctors note/possible disciplinary action/etc.

Cons

Work-life balance is not great, you can work 7+ days in a row especially if your store is short staffed. Weekends and evenings are also typically required of most shift leads. Though base pay is good, you only get a 1% raise annually on average.
