Great career opportunity

Area manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunity for a career with an outstanding company, even if you have no prior wxperience. Compensation is set up in a way that you are paid a regular hourly pay, plus incentives based on your performance (which only people with little or no drive would not appreciate). With 84, you are also promoted based on performance.

Cons

There are not many cons here, the only thing I can say is this: if you are looking for a "job", and want to get a paycheck every week while doing the least amount of work possible, this is not for you. With 84, you will work hard, and when you do, you will be rewarded for it.

Pros

Great learning experience, awesome advancement opportunity, they care what you think, and they care about their employees. Also very open book, they don't keep secrets from you.

Cons

Bad working conditions, mediocre pay if you are in a small store, long hours, little to no involvement from upper management (you are at the mercy of your manager).
