Pros

Great opportunity to work with the public.

Cons

Hard work with ridiculously small payroll budgets. Staffing guidelines not enough to properly run stores. Cut throat senior management that cares nothing about employees. No matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish it is never enough. Can terminate for any reason even if the reports show conflicting data. Everyone is always setup for failure even if they say otherwise. Worked for company for 8 years and terminated for bogus reasons. Data presented during termination conflicts with all reports. Systems slow and outdated making hard to perform job effectively. However, still not excuse for failure to complete projects timely.

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.
