Pros

-Definitely the benefits - Very generous -Quarterly Bonuses -Different experiences daily -New Challenges make the day interesting -Matching 401k plan at 6%

Cons

-Manager and Assistant - many times that's it...no other help in store -Long hours...12+ hour days happen too frequently due to having few unreliable part time help that is underpaid and could care less. -Manager position is more of a worker who has management responsibilities than a manager of a store -Work/Life - Expect to miss kids soccer games or events, no flexibility for life, mostly due to not having enough help to cover hours. -Retail customers can be difficult to deal with. Same with commercial but less frequently.

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
