Pros

Lots of internal opportunities to improve and progress up through the company if you don't mind having your manager changed 2 to 3 times a year due to company infrastructure changes.

Cons

Huge amounts of transformation and change with ambiguous and ever-changing management structure and fewer employees since many people left when remote work policy changed. Company forcing remote positions to go away after proving work can be done successfully or even better in some cases makes no sense to people.

Not bad, but declining.

Pros

Has resources to put behind software or tooling you may need. Encourages and supports continuing technical education like conferences. Likes to promote from within and allows you to move within departments. Lots of autonomy to make up and do your own work, not micromanaged. Values your technical opinion and guidance to get them where they need.

Cons

Politics and disorganization can slow down or stop your ability to execute. Pay slightly behind curve in normal circumstances and way behind when job market is hot. Human Resource department is unusually bad - slow to react or adapt which negatively impacts hiring and retention.

Pros

Lots of nice people. Lots to learn. 6% 401k matching is fantastic. High quality benefits, but you definetly pay for them.

Cons

The job description can be misleading. This is no high level position. You are running a store with an Assistant Manager, A Store Manager, and other employees. You get down and dirty, mix paint, and check out customers all day. After you do this long enough they place you at a store as an Assistant Manager. Then you get paid the same as you do as a MT, but you are bonus eligible, which you can make a grand or so a quarter typically, but all depending on your stores performance. You can get 0 bonus if you do not hit the budget set for you. Also this "yearly salary" is accounting for you to work 44 hours a week. You are an hourly employee as a MT and Assistant manager. The last 4 hours of your week are scheduled overtime and you are paid time and a half, which if done every week consistently adds up to the 49,000. If you take vacation you are losing out on your last hours which means you are missing out on your highest paid hours. Store managers are salary but expected to work 48 hours a week. Often they end up working more than that for no extra pay.
