Pros

Work life balance Nice people They pay for gas

Cons

Soul sucking Constant fire drills Better like talking about crappy food you have to sell They “give” you a company car you pay for ($150 a month but it’s a crappy car) Salary and bonus structure Performance review is a joke and not based on anything you can control They can’t understand why 70 year old stores look dirty All action in stores with FZs is your influence, zero backbone in actually taking care of issues from legal or upper management

Do more with less

Pros

So many *GREAT* people! Can't speak for everyone, but I felt they made legitimate efforts to assure their employees were compensated at appropriate levels with industry studies and what-not. No shortage of things to do, so you won't get bored.

Cons

Company motto should be "do more with less". Repetitive staff cuts over the last decade has cut staff levels to historic lows. In regular day to day stuff this isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, when things break, special projects come up, or to be proactive in addresses improvement needs one can't keep doing the "off the corner of your desk" mentality when it comes to carrying your normal every day work load and address the growing project needs of a company with older back office architecture. Lots of bureaucracy, and the over rigorous project delivery life cycle is far too taxing.

Pros

You have A LOT of freedom in this role, but don't take it for granted, and do not let it get the best of you! The best way to do so is to manage your personal and professional life. The perks that you get are outstanding - have never seen this in a company before... Vehicle, phone, laptop, gas card... Excellent perks! Your boss will have high demands on you, but will give you more autonomy to get your job done the way that fits best for you.. Complete autonomy and empowerment

Cons

You better get good at time management... Otherwise you will be eaten alive. If you aren't bold enough to say "no" when it's time to stop working, you WILL get burnt out. It is VERY EASY to get lost in the mix, and stuck in this position... You MUST have a plan for yourself, and your future. See YOU as a business, with a growth strategy and an exit plan if it does not work out. If not, you will be in this role for decades, and get pidgeon-holed.
