Pros

They care about your ability, not your education. If you're willing to work long hours, getting dirty and dealing with some short-tempered customers you could make a great career at 84. 5 day work week (at our store)

Cons

Compensation program is based on base + bonus (for hitting quota). Sometimes you just don't hit quota... When that happens, a co-manager (right below the store manager) winds up making less than $650/week after taxes after working a 55 hour week.

Pros

Excellent management, people take an active interest in your long term development in house.

Cons

Inflexible corporate expectations, reform and proposals don't appear to travel far past people you can see.

Pros

Good benefits, pay is decent. If you work from home FT as a Manager , you can also run your own business while on the clock get paid for it. Who wouldn't want to work there.

Cons

You can work your butt off, put in more hours than you should and get no respect in return.
