Pros

Salary and benefits are good compared to similar jobs. There is a lot of training available for new employees. Good opportunity to gain sales experience. There are some opportunities for advancement if you are willing to move.

Cons

Work life balance is poor. It can be a lot of nights and weekends, especially at a rural store. A lot of politics.

Pros

Well structured training. Outstanding benefits. Sufficient vacation time.

Cons

Too much is expected of store managers (are we managers or reps...make up your mind). The mission of most stores should NOT be retail yet we waste so much valuable time on this facet. Upper management have lost touch with reality when it comes to expectations at the store level.
