Pros

Not many. Benefit and Salary are above average.

Cons

Work/Life balance is not existent. Most MT's quit within first 6 months to a year. Not much opportunity for advancement. No matter what the circumstances that always have the Store managers back. This is a pro is you happen to be a manager, but if you're not it can really make things difficult. Most people who work for the company don't have college degrees so their management skills are a joke. Long hours, work weekends, can't easily move to different locations or departments. As an Asst. Manager coming out of the MT Program you can't choose your placement. I have been commuting an hour for the past year.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
