Pros
Most of the reasons have been taken away! i.e. Bonuses, Stock options, 401k match, benefit prices have increased, etc... The nice thing is that District Managers and Loss Prevention District Managers are of lower quality from in the past. Most of the managers know the processes better then the DM's, therefore the Store Managers run the district.
Cons
All the DM's are worried about are selling services like warranties and tech services. The DM's don't care how you get the number.... just get the number. DM's encourage unethical techniques to getting these numbers. They encourage you just enough to keep their hands clean. If you, the store manager, gets caught, then you are the one fired. If possible unethical situations are brought to the DM's attention, it will be overlooked.
