Pros

Flexibility with scheduling, job oversight lax. Opportunity to work outside of the store. Customer contact. Benefit package. Great reputation in with consumers.

Cons

Limited managerial support and limiited resources. Limited training and scatter-shot management. If the managers treated customers as they sometimes treat employees the store would close.

Pros

Paycheck and good bonus potential. Ability for someone to move up without a degree. Not much travel. 10% discount for employees.

Cons

Store Managers have to know someone to move up as all training programs for Store Managers have been cancelled for over 2 years. Small raises compared to those given out in the store. Higher management has no idea what it takes to run a store and continues to layer on more to all levels of employees. Store Managers are managed to the weakest link. Meaning if a Store Manager can't figure something out then a policy comes out with 20 more checklists to ensure everyone else is doing it right.

Pros

Good Benefits, insurance / employee discount / stock purchase. Some engaged managers, others leave you wondering. Good career place, plenty of opportunities for advancement depending on your area.

Cons

Crazy schedules, unable to balance family/work life in management positions. Inconsistent HR policy enforcement. Morale can be a roller coaster ride in some areas of the company.
