Pros

Always a veriety of things to do to never get bored. Pay got better with time or when you would transfer to another store. 401k matching was also very good. Bonus money was good every other year.

Cons

Had been with SW for 20 years. The first 10 years were pretty good. ... the last 10, I became a number and not a person. Lately the company had focused on the stock value so much that they have lost what made them so good. Every year there would be the next push to increase gallons. ... Or gross profit. ... Or sales. The stores budget was not made until march.... so the year was already 1/4 over till you knew how you were doing. My stores manager transferred beginning of the summer and left myself and my full timer for 2 months. No other help was offered other than my district manager saying to pull up our boot straps! This was a 1.8 million dollar commercial store with a cdl driver. Crazy summer and great money with OT. But not once was thanked by the district manager for covering the store. Thus the exit.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
