Pros

Autonomy of the branch - love being able to run my business and market with their money Merit Pay - if you ain't growing you will eventually feel it in your bank account Benefits package Training

Cons

Inexperienced branch managers Sometimes reward short term successes with promotions only to see those people fail as managers

Pros

A good job to get your feet wer and figure out how a bad company operates

Cons

Terrible compensaion system for sales and management--too many variables to get commission slashed and widdled away to nothing. you year after year have to do double the work to make the same amount of comission on existing accounts. 2% on existing 4% on new, and the existing goes up every year with your sales number for the specific month.

Pros

Good place to work for less than a year if you really need employment. One store I worked at was great while another was full of unethical managers that like to make their books look good. I would stay away if you have any morals or ethics. The company culture is terrible.

Cons

Some managers are great...but most are money hungry and immoral.
