Pros

There is (or was) a lot of money to be made and the work was relatively easy.

Cons

No individual accountability but if you are not in the club (5+ years in one of the combined companies) you will take the fall when someone won't do something. The work is easy because no one agrees what to do and so there is no real plan above the store. Most of the awards are paid for.

Pros

Salary, work schedule, bonus and location.

Cons

PRO although "unlimited" is still held to 80 hours. No sick leave or competitive leave. Workload is overwhelming. Management is delusional nor offers suggestions or assistance to the team. Passive racism. Lack of security for staff. Lack of professionalism in the office.
