Pros

Health care was great, salary was good for industry standards, great customers and very flexible with hours.

Cons

As a member of management, you are required to work at least 50 hours per week (most of the time i worked 60 - 70, being a salary employee they take advantage of you here), Saturdays and expected to work more than 50hrs a week. Low # of employees at each store so you really rely on your team. Upper-upper management (Directors and VP's) would beat you down like rag dolls if they didn't like you or felt you weren't doing a good job or even if you had too much tenure. They had a way of forcing you out if you cost to much to keep.

Pros

Great place to start a career. The best, and most liked, DM's are promoted to a director level quickly. Directors make well into 6 figures. Comapny car, great vacation time as well.

Cons

Not a good retirement package. High turnover in the DM and operations areas. Young leaders in the company make me wonder where everyone goes after the age of 35.

Pros

Worked for great leaders Awesome experience Gained so many new skills And culture was pretty fun when we were in the office full time (snacks, team lunches, celebrating coworkers)

Cons

Covid caused us to finally get laptops - not much trust prior to that Old school way of leadership being less obtainable-not necessary an open door policy Training program is conducted by non trainers and docs are read word for word (needs a revamp) All those things are workable but not having any job progression within the role is disappointing. You could be in the role 5 yrs & be amazing and still not move up since the org is pretty flat and they only move outside operations leaders into director roles
