Pros

Retail is a people business. If you enjoy a face to face contact with retail customers and commercial businesses, this is a pretty easy gig.

Cons

Huge change in culture in the past few years that has prevented high achieving managers from advancing to field management levels. I personally have not observed and internal promotion of another GM to DM in the past several years. District manager changes happen no less than twice a year. In my 5 years tenure there have been 11 DM changes in my district.

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
