Pros

Good pay for store managers

Cons

I worked there 8 years and in that time had 5 district managers and 4 regional managers! Turnover is BAD so what does that tell you? Corperate puts to much control in the District managers hands and does not follow up to know how they are treating store managers. If you complain all that happens is Reginal Manager comes out and no matter what you say they side with the district managers!

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
