Pros

Retail boot camp. Good experience for all jobs related to retail. You will do well here if you start off by realizing you don't mean anything to the company. Stick to the basics and you can have a good enough JOB. This is not a career unless you have friends in executive positions beyond the RD level.

Cons

Employees mean nothing. The company admittedly prefers the high turnover having one executive state " nothing sweeps better than a new broom". Salary means working 6 days and on call 7 days from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Do not expect to have a work-life balance. This is greed at the highest level.

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.
