Pros

-Flexibility -Good training -If you have S-tier good people its easy

Cons

-No work/life balance -Work 18-40k for free every year -Extreme lack of support from corporate. They know the issues but because people still work for them there's no change. -Low payroll and no real metric on how you get it. It's based of store size not sales or workload like they say. -Low pay keeps good employees away. -All your vendors or reps make they same or more than you do. Go work for them.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
