      Unparalleled leadership training, but get ready to work your ass off for it

      Pros

      If you decide to take the plunge into their program you'll be surrounded by a group of the most talented, hard working, and achievement-oriented college students in the nation. Merely being in the program alone does not guarantee success - there are those that fall prey to delusions of grandeur because they think mere acceptance is their guaranteed pass - true success requires absolutely pig-headed determination and steadfast discipline. People who succeed here can succeed ANYWHERE. This will be the hardest thing you will ever do - I've known alumni who go into investment banking and still consider their first year as a District Manager to be more challenging.

      Cons

      The pay does not reflect the hours you work. To do well you must work hard and work smart. For a small minority the total is less than minimum wage. (For those that truly apply themselves, they have the capability to earn more than their parents while going to school full time).

      Pros

      Great opportunity for college students to learn basically everything there is to know about running a small business. Opportunity to grow in responsibility given to rock stars.

      Cons

      Your success is dependent on both you and the team around you. Some district managers have no clue how to lead people.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Learn an incredible amount about the world of business, especially entrepreneurial business -Gain valuable real life experience -Have alot of fun -Gain lots of networking opportunites -Make a decent amount of money, especially from an internship program -Meet other amazing, driven, motivated, people -Go on sick trips -You will get LOTS of training, almost to the point you will get sick of it. In the end, it is very worth it -Great resources will you are participating in the internship, including a "paint guru" whose only job is to answer his phone and answer your paint related questions -All around this company and experience WILL change your life- Guarenteed

      Cons

      -It is ALOT of work. Be prepared to push yourself and work hard for your goals -Like a real new business, it takes some time to establish yourself and pay off your small amount of debt, which the company covers, before you actually see any profit -It is possible to "fail" If you dont put in the effort, which at some points may seem high, you wont realize your goals. Ultimately, if you are ambitious, and are willing to work for what you want, then you will do fine. If there is even an ounce of laziness or apathy in your personality, then you may want to stick to a shitty office job because you very well may be wasting your time.
