Pros

It's a job with benefits.

Cons

Wages are lower than competitors. Profit share is never had because of inflated budgets. Unless you are a "friend" of upper management you won't get promoted or shift jobs. HR emails and sets wage increases to be at 3% even if you should get more. While the rest of us that do the work are barely getting by on what we make, upper management are all happy and bragging to people about the new vacation house, boat, or new cars they just got. Along with the stock they have in the company that they don't offer to all the rest of the employees that is going up..... They never tell you "good job!" It is always what can they find and tell you that you need to work on even if your store is profitable!

Pros

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
