Pros
Professional leadership, opportunity to move up in your department if you are a hard worker and show good results. High salary if you reach store manager position. Good benefits, paid holidays
Cons
Very demanding, even if you show great results each year will ask for more and more. If you are new in your role they will give you time to adapt, but if you stay 10 years, then will expect you to do 10 times more for almost same pay as a new hire. Very fast paced and physical. Not for everyone - have to be to strong mentally and physically to be successful. Always operate with very minimal staff and if you fail to train your employees properly or fail to create a good culture at your store then your job could become a nightmare. Store associates and assistant managers are very underpaid for the work they have to perform which leads to high turnover
