      Pros

      Private stock options and 3 1/2 weeks paid vacation are the two best reasons to give it a shot. It can be rewarding for sure, I'll be the first one to admit that.

      Cons

      You're just a number to your superiors, individual circumstances be damned (forgive the mild profanity here). Favoritism (not so much as in career advancement as in personal interaction) runs rampant. Lots of inappropriate relationships among chain of command, regardless if upper management wants to admit it.

      Pros

      You will have a vacation every 4 months as a manager. They say you receive 2- 7 day vacations and 1- 10 day vacation a year, but that is not accurate, because your normal scheduled 2 days off fall within those time frames. But, still, you do receive 2- 5 day vacations and 1- 8 day vacation a year, so a total of 18 days vacation per year. You must also take into consideration you are on a 6 day rotation instead of a 5 day work week, so you lose additional days here.

      Cons

      You will work 70+ hrs/wk, and expect to have to pull doubles if your staff calls in. You must work the shift they miss in additional to your normal hours as manager. The only recruiting method you have is yourself. You are expected to recruit all your own associates from customers in the store. You are not allowed to do any outside advertisement, such as a help wanted sign in the window, and they do not advertise they are hiring or accept applications online. Expect to be the Superman of your unit with no Robin.
