Pros

High upside if you have patients. Can be a store manager in about 2-3 yrs with a good salary. 401k, Insurance and PTO.

Cons

You start out making $11 an hour. Some managers are not very good trainers so you can get thrown to the Wolfe’s.

84 Lumber Response

Thank you for the feedback pay. Manager Trainees make a base hourly wage plus a bonus based on their sales and store sales. The hourly rate doesn't tell the whole story.
