Pros

Benefits If you work like a robot you will get promoted

Cons

Took away supervisor position and expected same work with less pay. Horrible management the district managers don’t know what they are doing and force you to follow unrealistic goals. They want you to run a store with a skeleton crew and expect the store to run perfect. You will work long hours with no support from management. No work life balance and you will get no training.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
