Pros

Very easy for last minute time off for appointments and such. Very good job for a family person who needs to spend specific days with family.

Cons

There are very long days and very long hours. Do not become Area Manager of a small market that requires constant attention if you value quality of life at home. If you like one day a week off and constant emails and texts on your day off then feel free :)
