Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay, great group of employees. Cos team was horrible and wanted power and used the little they had abusively.

Cons

Oops I put some cons in my pros section. Just those with minimal authority believe they are store managers. They are paid a few dollars more but act as if they are salary and try to abuse there title. Some managers have bad communication skills and should be required to take some sort of class on effective communication skills. Also, staff should be able to give feedback on management.
