Pros

It's an extremely easy job, if you've worked in customer service and sales for years like I have. If you can make your sales goals, your DM is happy, and you get a bit of commission. It's seriously not hard to run one of these stores, if you have a good staff.

Cons

The salary is the worst I've ever seen. For an assistant manager position, they want you to work 45 hours a week to get your salary which is $200/week. If you DON'T work your required 45 hour weeks, you pay gets bumped to hourly which is 7.20/hr. You're making less than your hourly employees. So if you get sick, you're kind of screwed.

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
