Pros

The store level team I work with is awesome!!! 50% discount is pretty sweet! Some what flexible schedule but new management structure probably will change that.

Cons

Corporate comes off like they don’t know what they are doing by changing marketing at the very last minute and laying off all assistant managers affective immediately. Because of this most team leads are going to have to work full time hours anyway with the added responsibilities. Part time gets zero benefits.

Loved this job until new upper management swap! DMs micromanaging constantly & are constantly adding new ops which make it hard to focus on sales!
