Pros

Advancement to general manager is fairly easy Flexibility in your schedule You can never get fired unless you rob them blind

Cons

You will never get a raise in base salary. I have worked here for over five years and I won't even ask because I know the answer. Absolutely no respect. They make you feel like you can be replaced and don't value the experience you have gained. Goals usually are not reachable which makes them pointless. They have taken the decision making out of the branches and created a cookie cutter model. If you have any competition in your area you can garauntee you will be the highest priced one of them all.
