You get out what you put in

Pros

If you put effort into the job you can get ahead and make some money. Lots of new positions open with the various groups. Contrary to what you hear, management wants you to do well as this is how they make money. Fairly good training. You MIGHT even get a decent General Manager like I have.

Cons

Reviews are BS. No pay raises for hourly employees, ever - and pay plan for commission players doesn't change either. As a Corporate entity they are constantly looking to cut expenses - and that usually means your pay. Health Insurance is the worst I've ever seen. Expensive and with huge deductibles. Huge turnover (is it a wonder why?).

A fast paced working environment.

Pros

It is a fast paced working environment. There is always work that needs to be done. If you are willing to work hard and work smart, you can make a lot of money. There is a lot of freedom in what you do, even when you first start. It is really up to you how much you want to work, but everyone can see what you produce. You will get a lot of support from your managers, as their pay is on the line too. The managers are also very good at their jobs.

Cons

You work very long days and very difficult to get time off. I often end up working when I'm on my off days. You can take time off but it hurts your business. Also if you are not careful other salesman will take your customers.
