Pros
Upper management (regional vp's, senior executives) were amazing and absolutely accessible. Decent pay and great benefits. Room to grow in store. Everyone makes bonuses.
Cons
Beyond Lead positions, you have to become a specialist (assistant to store director/manager). Becoming a specialist is extremely difficult in small markets. If you are not in an area (like Houston for example) with several stores in close proximity, you have little to no chance to advance. You must be at minimum an "elevated specialist" to move up the corporate ladder. In many cases, that is just not possible. Make friends with your DM if you ever plan on advancing beyond a nonexempt employee. (everyone is hourly except Specialist and Store Director).
