Pros
I was a GM for five below which came with decent pay, bonuses and benefits. That's it! DMs are all about money!
Cons
Where do I start. As a GM expect to work 60+ hours a weeks. DM decides how much payroll you get. In the district I was in all stores pretty much got the same amount of hours. My store did more than twice the sales of other stores in the district, with the same payroll. When I questioned this I was told, your salary do what you need to do to make it work. DM was not helpful at all and was on vacation all the time. I met David and Tom and they seem like very nice people but when the company went public everything changed.
