Pros

Fast paced work environment, which makes your day go fast. In many communities you are doing good by making groceries available because you are the town store.

Cons

They give you almost no training and your district manager probably never worked in a store so they don't know any answers either. Their new model is to be very corporate with all the expectations and none of the PAY to back up the expectations.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
