Freedom to work as a manager and develop team and business. You will have an opportunity to make good money if your store is performing well. there are many opportunities for advancment because of growing markets.

Cons

If your store isn't performing well then you won't be paid well. Long hours and work holidays and weekends. Most markets have a long list of promote-able managers and you will have to wait your turn.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
