not micromanaged and have freedom, Some GMs and DMs are some really cool people, good learning experience on what you don't want to do for the rest of your life, resume buffer

Cons

low pay, dealing with pissed off customers because hubs and truck drivers screw over stores, long hours, expensive insuarance for a sub par plan, no incentives for part timers

Pros

Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

Cons

Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
