Pros
salary and benefits-- thats about it. You can not rely on the guidelines from corporate to meet the expectations of local upper managment. they expect things that they do not communicate to you. They expect you to achieve things in your store that they never communicate. The name of the company on your resume' I guess could be considered a good thing about working there. The stress level and negative attitudes from upper managment cancels out most of the good that you get from the experience. Much of your successes are due to trial and error as there is not training or support
Cons
Almost no training. No communication, No support from senior managment, a labor allowance that does not meet the needs of the store. Too many tasks and not enough time to manage. Very rude upper managment. As compared to other retail operations its like being a slave. You can put everything into your store and they still want more. Upper managment will often not respond to phone calls or emails. You are left in the dark about most things until you miss a deadline or fail to comply with something you had no knowledge of. This is the only job I've ever had where my best is not good enough.
