Pros

Pay is ok once you get to GM but starting off at manager trainie you might as well be a stocker for someone.

Cons

Long hours make it very difficult to be reimbursed for expenses you have. management by fear (to the extent of bullying in the work place) you don't get to select your management team but your held accountable for them will put hourly employees down in front of peers upper management constantly will terminate your staff and then you have to start over training new people but you have to cover their loss which could take a month or more to find someone as a GM you are not able to train and develop your team to be successful

Pros

All the people I worked with in the store were fantastic people. Everyone helps everyone else and doesn't leave anyone out to dry.

Cons

Management above store level were a nightmare. Easily the worst I've ever experienced. They would change goals often, sometimes within days of having made a change. They would make assumptions about what was wrong without ever actually being in store. They wouldn't speak to ANYONE below the level of a manager to the point of ignoring someone if they greeted them.
