Pros
- Excellent benefits and compensation. 80k during first year of training, 85k during second year, 93k during 3rd, 100k after 4 years. 3 weeks vacation after first year. Company car included. - Great company culture and wise senior management. - Business is great, company is growing like crazy. Management is fair.
Cons
- Work/life balance is minimal. 50 hours per week is the expectation, but it is hard to just work 50. Typical weeks were 60 with drive time. Some weeks were 65-70 during training year or holidays. Turnover is high, so at any given moment, you could be given more stores (longer drive times/work day). - Career path is very structured. There are very few positions you can be promoted to, so they are very competitive. Typically, the DM holds the position for 4-5 years and is then promoted to a Director.
