Pros

Huge amount of responsibility Free rain to run your store the way you want (to a degree) Directors & MD knows you by name Massive salary in return for the work you put in

Cons

Little to no support from AM’s once the going gets tough, you just expected to deal with it or ‘manage the situation’ and then your performance managed by your AM for your management. There is a very evident ‘blame’ culture AM’s with minimal people management skills Work/Life balance is non existent Responsible for your store even during times of annual leave.

Pros

The benefits are great, & keep me there longer than I felt welcome.

Cons

No diversity on store management level ( depending on demographics) Upstate S.C. Poor communication from upper management to MT's & below. If you're an African American in this area in management don't expect to EVER have your own store. It's never happened, although I pray it does.

Pros

Money and the level of responsibility are the real benefits. Whether or not your work environment is largely dependent on the people around you.

Cons

Militaristic management approach imparted by many. Long work hours 60+ week. Some unbearable sociopaths in Director positions.
