Pros

Growing business may have some job placement opportunities with new store openings. Job stability if you are a dependable worker.

Cons

Corporate giants are betting on monopolizing industry by their recent acquisitions and branding service without first supporting our infrastructure. In other words. The company lacks the drive to put their money where their mouth is. They lack supporting our team members with the proper training, mentoring and sales incentives to achieve a higher standard that is marketed as the mantra brags. "service is our best part".

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity for growth and building relationships in the industry. Learning opportunities are abundant and the benefits are not bad if you are full-time (part time offers limited benefits)

Cons

Management is paid less than comparable positions in the industry. ALOT of hours (salary, no overtime). Minimum 50 per week regardless of tasks..most GMs pull about 60 or more per week. Alot of admin tasks and distractions from corporate. Frequent changes in direction frustrate employees.
