      Pros

      It's easy to advance in the company if you prove to be reliable and hardworking. Flexible schedule for employees that AREN'T store managers. I feel as though the pay is fair.

      Cons

      Hard to balance life and work because of the required 6 days a week. The biggest problem is that you're given hardly any hours for the schedule, just enough to barely cover breaks. Not enough to have someone on the sales floor, stocking, and on registers simultaneously. So how are we supposed to complete and follow the 7 day workflow they enforce when we aren't given enough hours for the store to succeed? I repeatedly felt as though I was set up for failure instead of success.

      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.
