Pros

Starting pay for GM is $43,000. Slightly above industry average. However, you are selling your soul for a paycheck.

Cons

Very, very long hours. Expected to work 14 hours shifts 4 days a week and only getting 1 day off. Average work hours per week is 60+. expect to work open to close 7 days a week if the owner is visiting your area. Area coaches will work you to death so that he/she will look good in front of the owner/RDO/ZVP. Terrible work environment. Senior management cares about the buttom line and for a company with a core value of people they do not live up to their own value. Often asked to attend classes like Landmark/Creeser on your own expense. If you don't go you will get passed for advancement. When you are transferring to a different store, be prepared to wipe some serious ass.
