      Don't work here if you are...

      Unit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You meet new people.

      Cons

      Some of those new people are your up-line management team, and trust me- - - - they can care less about the Unit Managers. 18 hours a day, work all holidays, NEVER have the same two days off weekly, NO WORK/LIFE balance, politics and MORE politics when it comes to promotions, the hourly associates are the ones who really run the show in each unit which makes managing a successful team that much more difficult, no support from upper management, company has little integrity with their promises and words, and I strongly advise any individual who wants a successful career, and has the energy to accomplish it, don't waste that energy with this company.
