Pros

My manager was the best!! I have grade school children,which means alot of school stuff,I was always able to go. When my eldest daughter passed away in 2010 I was able to take my time in going back to work,everyone was very supportive of me.

Cons

Complaints from customers about moving merchandise threw out the store.Other employees calling in and not getting in trouble when we knew they were fine. Basket coaching, and the company thinking everyone that works there is a thief when in fact the people I worked with were very honest and hard workers.

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.
