Pros

Easy to move up, company is everywhere so you dont have to leave the company to move to a new location. Pay

Cons

Bonus structure is unfair, clubs that lose money for the company can get a bonus if they lose less money than the previous year, but clubs that consitently bring in millions in profit dont bonus unless the meet outrageous "projections" for groth of sales and profit. The company is top heavy, there are some many senior level leaders and home office executives that give out some many contradicting directions that mid level front line managers are caught in unrealistic goals mixed with unclear direction. Like a big game of telephone but if you repeat the wrong message at the end your fired!!!

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
