Pros

money and a good chance of advancement as long as you give up your whole life and trust the powers that be to treat you fairly and with respect. The compensation for store managers was significant.

Cons

I worked for them for almost 20 years and watched a corp culture be slowly dismantled.When assistant managers were required to have a collage degree real work that was required was put on others. The atmosphere turned caustic. While upper management was trimming costs including benefits more was required for less. Older longer serving employees were "encouraged" to move on. It was too sad to watch.

Pros

They pay well for the industry. Plenty of room for advancement and they also promote from within. We have terrific resources including people and technology. I enjoy working with the public and getting the public into my store.

Cons

Work long hours as a store manager. Have very limited budget of hours for the store with more and more work to get done. For those who say it is hard to get promoted look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are a good worker because I know that in my district if you are you get promoted. It took me 1 year to become an exa and 3 more years to become a store manager which I thought was quite fair. I worked my butt off to get here and I work even harder now that my name is on the wall of my store. So it doesnt get easier the further up the rung you go and if you think it does you have no idea the daily tasks that are involved with being a store manager.

Pros

management is paid well. Profit sharing is great. Thats about it.

Cons

Every year they want more and more with less and less. Less payroll, more work, better service, etc etc. If you have no life outside of work, this is the job for you. If you have a family, good luck!
