Pros
Many of the customers are awesome, the job is fairly easy, and if you are working for a good manager, you'll have a good experience. There's no better place to learn the retail business, and franchise ownership can be the ultimate promotion if that's what you're working for. It's not hard to learn how to run a store. You'll need integrity, kindness, and work ethic. They will teach you everything else.
Cons
They sent a new manager who had zero experience as so much as a cashier. Had never been in retail. On her first day without my old boss, a co-worker, who I had literally caught smoking crack in the store several months prior, came in and began photographing the store and telling me the new manager told her to start documenting my performance. By this time, I had been with franchises or corporate in some capacity for well over a decade, been consistently recognized, and managed multiple stores myself. I quit right then and there. It was a corporate store. Long way to say the cons of this company is if you get a horrendous manager, you'll have a horrendous professional life. Of course, the opposite is also true. The new boss couldn't run a store, but they checked all the boxes.
