Pros

-I love working with the customers and employees. -Everyday there is something new so the job never gets old. -Company is currently performing very well.

Cons

-Very difficult to move up and be noticed in the zone unless you are a drinking buddy of the zone manager. -Frequent disrespect from zone management which can include being cursed at, unprofessional conversations & being yelled at and embarrassed in front of coworkers. -Schedule is very hectic which is to be expected in retail. -Low pay compared to similar companies with similar position. -Can't get a good evaluation unless they think you are ready to run your own store. You can do a great job at your current point in your career but can't be evaluated fairly because you don't have enough time in to be a store manager. -Constant store visits from upper management distract from helping customers and actually doing the job that needs to be done. -Never being recognized for doing a good job, just being beat on the head when numbers aren't met.
