Pros
- The discount - You get very acquainted with hobbies you never knew existed - For the most part you were off every Sunday unless there was something that needed to be done - You gain experience managing 50 plus associates - You gain "big box" experience
Cons
- The hours required to work, 50+, even sometimes hitting 60 - Hard to get any days off if needed for doctor visits, etc... - There is absolutely no regard to anyone having a life outside the store even though they claim they are Christian based - The DM over the market I was in, was a micro manager - The constant fear that there will be a corporate visitor is a weekly occurrence, and so you have to stay later to be ready "just in case" they stop by - Having to close two nights a week even though you have to be there at 7 am, so 7 am to 9 pm ish twice a week
