      Great pay and benefits, but people can make or break the experience.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Private stock options start on day 1 (exercisable 10 yrs later) Great benefits affordability (depending on Obamacare changes) Vacations and days off planned one year in advance Constantly and aggressively expanding - $1B company with ZERO debt!

      Cons

      Time off can change or flux due to weather/events; work ALL holidays, especially Christmas Commute can be a pain, especially if you're not flexible enough to move People will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, be it members of management, or your own associates

      Not worth your life.

      Multi unit manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can make a living wage. You are allowed to run a business. Given time to make mistakes, and learn from them Good bonds between most managers

      Cons

      Zero appreciation of work/family balance. Promotion standards advertised are lies if you want to get promoted kiss ass. Poor at scheduling upcoming meetings far enough to plan for them Senior management responds emotionally not professionally Store managers are babied then district and division level are treated poorly. Region and up can do no wrong (just ask them) Bonuses are being damaged by company growth and the company doesn't care that its people who have allowed growth are suffering.

      Challenging

      Pros

      Great training and development programs and there are great benefit plans in place to help you grow finacially.

      Cons

      The major challenge with working here is that you spend a great deal of time at work and your quality of life is not great. Being open 24/7/365 can place a great deal of strain on a person with kids or a family.
