Pros

Trying to develop teams to grow. Giving people a chance to shine in their roles. A lot of these folks live in poverty so development can assist life changes to better themselves to move onto another employer.

Cons

To much work for the store level staff to please upper management.The Store Manager gets all the wage an still is below what other companies pay. The other staff get crumbs and are not motivated in a lot of cases to grow because it is not really possible.

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.
