Pros

Pay for DM’s was good over the years. If you started in the early days and managed money well, you are in great shape. In addition, there were some great leaders to learn from....oh wait, they usually get fired once the CEO hears them say one thing he doesn’t agree with. This is NOT an opinion nor isolated to one instance. Anyways, thanks to those great leaders who provided a wealth of knowledge!

Cons

As a previous DM and RVP with this company, please do not fall in to this trap. The stock grants were so good in the past that it used to make misery worth it, but now the measly 12 share per year vest is simply not worth the stress. Also, ethics and integrity are out the window here. If you are over 40 with tons of multi unit experience, you need not apply. Hiring managers are coached to label you as “ downside of career” which is their way of saying “too old.” Perhaps the EEOC should be alerted to these practices?Also, they realize that you are most likely too smart to put up with the craziness. Instead, they like to hire young, give them a life changing salary and wait for them to burn out. They will just get more when they need to. If you hate taking care of customers, this is the place for you because you don’t have the authority to do so. Try explaining to customers why PS (billion dollar company)has not replaced a 30 yr old roof that is supposed to protect their belongings. Or why a brand new building has mold because the company didn’t want to pay for dehumidifiers . Please pay close attention to the great reviews from the RVP’s and DM’s . Look at the dates when they come in. Funny that they come in around the same days??? It is a directive from above to try and increase ratings and they are simply not true. If you do come here, hope for a great leader that can filter the corp direction well. Also, don’t be fooled by a DM title. You are in control of very little. Think “high paid baby sitter.” Your turnover will be high unless you have the cash to incentivize your team out of your own pocket. Some great people along the way, but some really horrible people as well.

Pros

Decent pay for DMs and above.

Cons

They do not pay hourly employees enough for the amount of work they ask. Bonus targets are very difficult to hit. Benefits are just OK and you only get Thanksgiving and Christmas off for holidays.
