Pros

Flexibility of making my own schedule Depending on the quality of the District Leader or Regional VP, micromanagement has been minimal Bonus pay has been reasonably good, unlike other companies that have offered bonus and made it virtually unachievable Depending on the quality of your hiring and staffing standards, the team I work with is excellent Communicated company goals are in line with respectable values Reasonably competitive benefits

Cons

Advancement opportunity upwards from General Manager upwards is not structured, requested long term promotion plan and upper level has provided vague, open ended goals Depending on the current District Leader or Regional VP, micromanagement can be horrible Realignments and upper level management changes can negatively affect store teams Upper level hires advancement positions from outside applicants before effectively offering the opportunity to qualified internal applicants

Pros

- Good time off and flexible - Some leaders are great - Regular Benefits

Cons

- Not much company or team buidling activities - If you are new you may feel isoated, kind of (cliquey) in some departments - Not much option to switch leaders - With big projects you may feel as if you are doing more than you were hired for
