Pros

easy to move up, flexible schedule, pay is decent for a manager

Cons

Salaried members of management can expect to work all holiday, unrealistic expectations of how a store should look, micromanagement by all levels of higher ups, can be expected to work up to 60-80 hours a week. way too many visits from corporate. High turn over by hourly employees

Pros

Pay bonus paid quarterly if earned. Really good vacation benefits. Offer discounts to employees of 10% on own brands and 5% on all others. They do try to keep you close to home

Cons

Micromanage everything be prepared to be a follower and your ideas are not valued. your job is retail execution and you must follow their plan even if it doesn't make sense. There goal is to make everything the same in every store even if it doesn't fit the communities needs.
