Pros

GM and below in the individual stores seem pretty decent. Proper training and the time to do it would help with turnover rate, along with better pay. Subway, Wal-mart , Wing Stop, all start out at a higher pay rate.

Cons

In my area, Advance starts employees at $8.50 an hour, which probably is the lowest pay of any retail store in my area. No time to really train/watch videos. DM's are either really good or really bad. No consistency in management and corporate seems to keep stores in the dark about what is going on. This company is not a career oriented company. It appears that the longest span of employment is about 10 years before employees either get feed up or see the company for what they really are.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
