      Pros

      Great benefits, pay is wonderful, and will give time off when needed.

      Cons

      Some work days can become overwhelming especially with all the special buy items every Tuesday and having to find space to put things. It can get overcrowded with items and customers sometimes get frustrated.

      Great company; work/life balance is rough.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Excellent benefits and compensation. 80k during first year of training, 85k during second year, 93k during 3rd, 100k after 4 years. 3 weeks vacation after first year. Company car included. - Great company culture and wise senior management. - Business is great, company is growing like crazy. Management is fair.

      Cons

      - Work/life balance is minimal. 50 hours per week is the expectation, but it is hard to just work 50. Typical weeks were 60 with drive time. Some weeks were 65-70 during training year or holidays. Turnover is high, so at any given moment, you could be given more stores (longer drive times/work day). - Career path is very structured. There are very few positions you can be promoted to, so they are very competitive. Typically, the DM holds the position for 4-5 years and is then promoted to a Director.

      Pros

      If you are willing to put in the time, the pay is nice, but you really need to be more single to do this

      Cons

      if you want to manage people making barely above minimum wage for the rest of your life, this is the career to you
