Pros

Jobs and low-cost products in areas where most retailers will not go- very small towns and urban areas. Company is growing rapidly. Lots of opportunity for upward growth. High internal promotion focus. Extensive training program at all levels.

Cons

Not an easy "I am going to sit back and draw a paycheck" kind of job. Everyone works hard in their job. Wages are lower compared to bigger stores (big store retailers).

Pros

Good job for someone starting to get a job

Cons

Terrible oppurtunities for anyone actually trying to move forward. Boss literally had a stroke from this job and then was forgotten about.

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.
