Pros

Decent pay as a GM (50k in florida, plus up to 10k a year in bonus if store is running well financially). Lots of room to move up as people are always being fired or quitting at high positions, easy to build a nice resume.

Cons

High turnover, extreme expectations with no real assistance. Employee and lower managers make almost nothing, its hard to hold people accountable to a higher standard when they are overworked and under paid, most good people leave for better paying, easier jobs. Some regional management is decent, most Ive met expect the impossible and preach it as "easy". You will work more than 5 days a week and 50 hours to cover shifts, and will routinely run short.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
