Get in the Game!?

Pros

If you get in the right store with the right manager and the right district manager who cares about you as much is your numbers. Your lucky. Training based for purely performance driven selling skills. Promotions are if easy if you hit your credit card and tired directives monthly. Hi caliber talent to be store manager in less than a year expect three to five years of store manager if you want to get into senior management. The political landscape is a good ole boys club from the store up.

Cons

They like to run a skeleton crew no more than 3 sales teammates per store which means you're usually working by yourself with another teammate any given day. Expect to work every holiday and weekend. Noobs get every Sunday especially with a store manager who probably doesn't want to work Sundays but has to work every Saturday. Your only as good as your last operating statement. Management picks at every overtime hour missed breaks get you threatened with a write you up or termination. Management will not provide you extra crew will always swear they can do it better than you but most haven't done a thing and if they ever did it was a long time ago.

Pros

People are great, great culture and history of the company. Good products and lots of pride in the company.

Cons

Not very progressive, bad change management. Little upward mobility. A bit of an old boys club.
