Pros
The training for the sales process is fairly simple and since it’s inside sales you don’t ever have to cold call people. Their system is easy to use and has all the relevant tasks you’ll need to tackle throughout the day; you can contact anyone at other stores which is helpful if you have questions, you’ll usually get an immediate response. Physical work is usually light depending on your main store but you will sometimes have to do big maintenance projects by yourself or with your store manager. Customers are generally easy to work with because they already know what they want.
Cons
Atrocious salary and career advancement options, even though you can transfer to any store in the company, usually the only ones available to you will be in your district. There are only 3 role types before District Manager: assistant manager, store manager, and district team lead. Pay between Assistants and Managers is negligible and if you become a DTL you will make only a few dollars more. If you live on site as a manager, they always slash your pay because you’re receiving free housing, but most of the time it goes below what the assistants make.
