Pros

As a DM you had company car, ability to set your schedule and plan you activities. Pay was decent

Cons

Very little work life balance. While the concept is preached, the reality of life in the company at the DM level is there is very little free time. Over the last 2 years, there seems to be a lack of decided direction. At least 2-3 times a year the focus of what the company wants will change and the execution expectation in immediate. Last, even with stores that are growing in sales, payroll budget to the stores are shrinking.

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.
