Pros

You are constantly meeting with people of all races, genders, ages, and backgrounds. The people really do make or break each store. Growth opportunities are abundant. Certain stores really try to promote the best workers from within. Bonus potential on profitable stores is incredible.

Cons

Yearly raises are consistently 2-3%. Doesn't even match cost of living. Luckily, you don't get to leave the store enough to use any of your money anyways. Inconsistent hours. I started in the company at a time where moving up meant more consistency and more benefits. Yet, every promotion was met with worse hours and less time away from the store. The store management turnover was horrendous. In my first five years I had one store manager. Over the next five years I had six. The tenured professionals in the company seemed to lose their ability to provide customer service. The employees who had been there for 5+ years typically sat behind a computer or stayed in the backroom for most of their shifts. The amount of infidelity within each store at this company is crazy. More people were let go or removed from their position due to having affairs than poor performance.
