Pros

A constantly evolving employer that will give you a rewarding work life. The salary can be good providing you are placed in a store with medium to high turnover. A great team ethic in store.

Cons

Work / life balance can be difficult to achieve. An ever changing company that is moving more and more towards delivering KPI's that just don't seem relevant instead of delivering the bottom line. Very few career opportunities as Store Managers seem to stay in one store for years and years at a time.
