Pros

Flexible PTO/annual employee engagement surveys

Cons

Benefits are limited in options/No work-life balance/Everything is a priority/No illness time- you use your PTO/DMs pay for everything up front- if you travel for the company, you pay. Meetings? You pay. Store opening funds? You pay. This is reimbursed through expenses /Base Pay is the worst in the industry/you will spend 90% of your time on data entry/this is not a DM position- it is an area manager admin role/ you will work 7 days a week and 12-15 hour days/ the resident manager “perk” is a trap for PMs to hold them as long as they can bc PS pays its PMs horribly/Very high turnover at every level/ if you are white and a male, you should do well/ you will fight everyday for basic needs and get nowhere
