Pros

Customers team environment small stores easy to work in depending on layout

Cons

DMs dont praise good work or even improved work, they only focus on the negatives. DMs treat managers different from store to store instead of equally. They take family issues as an excuse of duties not getting done in one store but not for another. RMs come in maybe once every few months and if on that first visit they dont like the store you better start looking for another job. Instead of them trying to help and find out whats going on, which in my store the day he had come in I had a call in and nobody would come in. I had a call that the RM would be in that day. I did my best to run register take care of customers and keep store cleaned up. Not good enough. First, he didnt get to my store until around 5pm after the day I had trying to get things done with nobody else in the store my shift was over and I left. RM didnt like that. I was terminated a month later.

Pros

Being able to build your own team members, and getting to know the customers on a daily basis, inside the store becomes your family.

Cons

The only down side is not feeling good about the job you have done for the Company because you are never thanked for it.
