Pros
The salary for an SM really isn't that bad. An outside hire is usually better compensated.
Cons
The micromanagement is ridiculous. Constant, nerve-wracking micromanagement. Work/life balance could use some adjustment. However, the really big issues are these idiotic old ideas the company holds to about being the "finest purveyor" of coffee out there. Our whole bean is really good, consistently. But we are a quick-serve coffee business, not a restaurant, not a cd store, not a bookstore. We need to get away from all the extraneous b.s. we serve, and just get back to high quality coffee. Unfortunately, most of the leadership wants to give lots of "feel-good" speeches and not effect change, really.
