Pros

I’ve worked in several different stores in different locations and had pretty different experiences. Newer stores tend to have strong leadership with a supportive management that is well aligned with core company values.

Cons

Older stores tend to have leadership/employees who lack the ability to innovate and improve with the times. Stubborn and old. I’ve seen how this contributes to the high turnover/burnout.
