Pros

I loved my job as the store manager! I was able to start as an associate and move all the way up to the store manager. The company offered nice benefits and bonuses. I was given lots of freedom inside the store and was able to set up the layout in a new way. Enjoyed most of my coworkers.

Cons

The pay was some of the lowest anywhere for a Store Manager. Lots of back-stabbing and high turn-over rate for employees. Lots of theft and underhanded things going on from the store level all the way up to the Main Office.

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
