Expected to do more with less

General manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is great. There is a lot of freedom from store to store to make decisions that will benefit your specific store.

Cons

General Managers are expected to make only slightly more than Assistant Managers, and there are stores where Assistant Managers make more than their GM! Absolutely no vision from company management, only the bottom line matters. No developmental program (or any training at all, really) for any positions within the company. Payroll is expected to be cut on a daily basis if necessary.

Terrible place to work

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This is tolerable for a part timer who just needs a few extra bucks, but don't stay too long, and don't waste your time trying to make a career.

Cons

Poorly run, unpaid overtime, little to no bonuses, no free time, unprofessional upper management, questionable business practices at best. Oh, and don't count on a raise, because you'll probably never get one.
