Pros

The pay is good for management, though not as good as it was a couple years ago. The benefits are amazing. Health, life insurance as well as great 401k matching and profit sharing.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. General Managers and Upper Management expect you to put your job before your personal responsibilities. It is very easy for General Managers to get away with treating their employees poorly.

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
