Pros

Compensation is fair by industry standards Great Support from senior management Love the interaction with the employees and the customers

Cons

Not too benificial for people with young kids as you work weekends and all holidays including christmas and thanksgiving day Bonuses are mainly sales driven at the district manager level Responsible 24 hours a day, so you can be easily woken up at 2am for any situation

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
