      Pros

      Constent growth, lots of work to keep you busy, and always changing. No real cuture, so anything goes. Got an idea, they will by it!

      Cons

      Worst work-life balance as DMs work 6 days a week. Divisional managers always looking for a "silver bullet". No level of trust. Poor onboarding; payroll is not allowed to properly train managers and store staff. DMs are expected to make up the lack of labor in the stores. They are told to "live there". Store staffing is impossible with constent turn. Very poor rates of pay to recruit and hire top talent. Store managers are expected to work 6 days a week. Labor model will not work if SM and DM are not working 6 days every week and sometimes 7.

      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.
