Pros

Pay for entry level position right out of college isn't bad. Decent health benefits, and company car with gas card.

Cons

There is no work life balance for store managers or district managers. They claim you should only work around 50 hours a week which is laughable. You will work between 80 to 100 hours a week unless everything in your store runs perfectly without any hiccups.

Pros

Great place to work, Great Pay, work/life balance is improving, 401k is great. Insurance is excellent. Great store managers make stores run smoothly. Having a team that bonds well keeps schedules fair and work balanced.

Cons

Needs to improve on minimal opportunities for career advancement. Not enough input on store level when hiring for the team. Unrealistic productivity guidelines for lower volume stores vs higher volume stores.

Pros

Day goes fast- FAST! I will not need a gym membership anytime soon, very physical work, which I don't really mind as I'm getting into better shape.

Cons

Well, I'd say there's more cons to this position than most places I've worked. Was hired for shift manager, full time at seventeen an hour with the understanding that I may work as a cashier sometimes at twelve an hour. So, an average of fifteen an hour. Last schedule: 21 hrs scheduled. 2 shifts as a cashier, and 1 as a shift manger. Hard to pay the bills with that. Looking for a different job after only being there for a month.
