Pros

-Competitive benefits -PTO -Resources & Tools to facilitate work environment -Really quick to move up within company

Cons

-Whether you like it or not, this is a 24 hour role. Expect to work long hours pass the 50 hours, calls on your days off by managers below and above, and pressured to work if managers call out. -Company is ever changing for customers and with more change comes more work added to your plate. -Company expects unrealistic time expectations to implement changes within store -They will give you a bad store and expect it to be fixed within a snap of a finger without giving proper team/resources to facilitate changes -Move up people not readily skilled for role causing others to pick up slack

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.
