Pros

Most of the store personnel are great hard working people and the managers are awesome. They try to make the best of a bad situation.

Cons

Where to start? The majority of district managers and regional managers don't actually visit their stores like they're supposed to much less help their people. There is a complete disconnect between corporate and what actually goes on in the field. Some of the lowest paid wages in the industry and corporate's view point is they should just be glad they have a job.

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.
