Pros

-Fun Staff and Managers -Fun quaterly meetings that usually involve sport -You get given responsability if you are OK to GOOD. -New stores are better than older stores.

Cons

-Your Mileage May Vary. God are some stores good and others awful. -Your Mileage May Vary. Each store manager can do what he wants, some can be godly and others can be diabolical. -Wages are not negociable - they are also quite low. -Amateurish and disorganized in many aspects. This can play to your advantage in some situations and to your disadvantage in others. -It is expected in most stores that you will be working over 40 hours per week. I think the average you should expect, unless your are lucky, so to have to work from 45 to 55 hours per week. Expect these hours to be intense, as well.

Thank you for your useful feedback fellow Decathlete! We are listening. It's true we give a lot of autonomy - and with that comes risk that things don't always go right. But we prefer this than to instill too many rules as we believe in the power of autonomy & creativity.
