Pros

book check out, flexible scheduling, is actually kinda fun at times.

Cons

discount card, upper management has expectations that are sometimes either unrealistic or just dont make sense, which isnt surprising consider how few of these people have actually worked in a BAM store. compensation sucks, better set you salary in stone, they will try to pay you as little as possible. dont be a GM- unless your no longer interested having a personal life.

Pros

Opportunities to move up and gain more knowledge, enjoyable workplace with flexibility and open lines of communication. Feel valued and fulfilled. Corporate and home office has improved communication and clarity significantly, Company allows stores more freedom in how they achieve success and what their stores can decide on when it comes to changes and updates.

Cons

In my opinion, pay can be on the lower end. Experience can be dependent on your management/person above you, but that is usual.
