Pros

-Lead way to run your own store the way you want. -Lead way for a flexible schedule.

Cons

-Poor work life balance. -Poor upper management assisting managers. -Outdated company culture. -Upper management does not value the hard work managers put in. -If you’re low on staff you’ll have to work 30 days straight open to close 13 hour shifts daily. - Lack of culture values and not diverse, they’ll promote certain employees based on favoritism. - No diversity or inclusion of people of color. I was the only token black man.

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
