Pros

Good career path start. Descent pay. Descent benefits.

Cons

Extremely weak at Area Manager level management. Far too many uneducated mid level managers who manage by seat of pants or by comfort zones based on personal relationships with superiors. Make a lot of poor decisions due to lack of education with regards to sound business practice.

Pros

You can control pricing pretty well, which can give you an edge. Money can be good if you hit sales goals.

Cons

Advancement. If you don't want to be in outside sales, you have to change stores to move up in management. Which leads to managment, your not a store manager your a sales manager. All crtitcal thinking is done at corp HQ and not at the store level. Mandatory 48 hour work week.
