Pros

No real consequences for a bad job Retail director is a strong leader

Cons

No work life balance You are expected to work harder than any other company and pay does not reflect this They only promote from within for manager upwards and tell you this is because they believe in internal progression when this is driven purely as they can pay you less and get more out of you As a manager of a store you will spend all your time on a till or working stock. Forget managing anyone but your own time Senior team happy to ask you to give more when they couldn’t do it themselves. CEO leads through fear
