      Pros

      Intra company promotions if you join their manager training program Most sales Reps used to be managers No drug testing Depending on manager work can be laid back as long as no one is in the store

      Cons

      Managers are salary and get paid for 40 hours of work but must work 48 hours a week because of contract

      Pros

      Pay was ok I guess.

      Cons

      Everything. It was retail and they owned you and let you know it. Wish I could give negative ratings.

      Pros

      Continuously on the move managing a wide range of things. It was great to interact with customers daily while building relationships. Advancement can be quick if you are the "type" they are looking for.

      Cons

      Emails about marketing excellence and keeping up on your employees performances. Easily replaceable since they acquired a multi-billion dollar company (Valspar) and they need to hire new college grads to replace tenure employees to offset the cost. Don't ask for a full time employee- nothing but babysitting your part time help. I didn't mind working retail hours but most do. Upper Management promotes people they like rather than proven employees. I had the second most profitable store in a large district and yet loss prevention came in to falsely accusing me of something I did not do. I have heard testimonies of large companies doing this to employees who need to be replaced with cheaper labor but in reality I experienced the same situation and found afterwards that others were removed as well. Large companies financially critique the payroll in the wrong measures after reaping the costs of mergers & acquisitions.
