Pros

Plenty of training available if you have a good DM.

Cons

Many managers have at least a foot out the door, making it hard to build a store that operates well. They meet budget and the DM is happy, but the rest of the store is struggling. There is constant internal movement and they cannot keep staff, partially to low pay but also working conditions and lack of incentive. There is also a lot of issues for women and POC working in the field and they are not well supported by management.

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.
