Pros

Company will invest in your future with tuition reimbursement As a branch manager, there is flexibility with your schedule. Depending on the position you have, there are perks.

Cons

Branch Managers are being more and more limited in what they can actually "do". Over the years, the role has changed into being overpaid baby sitters. Also, the manager plays backup to every role in the branch to cover vacations. There are 10 different bosses to answer to, each with their own agenda, none of which are in harmony with the other. By far, the role is 100 times more stressful than it was 5 years ago. The company is extremely top heavy and the restructuring that took place in 2012 has hurt the culture that was once something to speak of.
