Pros

Easy to get Managerial experience, Paid training, you can develop a career very easily and make decent money, flexible schedules for students.

Cons

District Managers almost NEVER visit little stores, a lot of favoritism for GMs in charge of Corporate customers stores, RVPs involvement should be more frequent (they dont get to know each of their stores)

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
