Pros

** Great pay once you become a store manager ** You receive a high level or respect & admiration from friends & family when you tell them you work here ** 4 weeks vacation right off the bat (but there's a catch)

Cons

** Horrific work-life balance... upper management says that they want you to have a work-life balance, but that's practically impossible if you work in "the ghetto" ** Corporate provides very little payroll to stores... there is one employee per every 40 customers ** Stores in "ghetto" areas are nearly impossible to manage because corporate assumes that EVERY store in the company is like one based out of Wisconsin. ** You're just a number ** Regional management and above treat store salaried managers like crap, but they expect us to kiss the ground our employees walk on ** Unrealistic corporate expectations ** Store management has very little control over employee morale. ** Horrific turnover amongst salaried managers ** Training at all levels sucks

Pros

Benefits are great, flexible work schedule , alternative work arrangements, friendly staff, great discounts, always raises even if you are so called capped out, strong company, and so much more

Cons

I know my pay is Lower than national average. Insurance is also a little pricy. Don't think you will get a raise unless it's raise time. Even if they are hitting at a higher rate of pay than what you make don't expect to get more money
