Pros
Upper management involved in helping individual stores succeed. Closed (or close early) on all major holidays. Monthly and yearly bonuses when sales goals are achieved. If you are a hand-on manager and like working closely with your employees, teaching and training them, you will enjoy your job. Flexible scheduling for the most part, rotating weekends.
Cons
Store managers are the only salaried employee in the building. Assistant and support managers are hourly. Overtime is rare, and not encouraged by the company as a whole. Therefore, when business is slow, and employee hours are cut, the store manager must take up the slack. He/she is already required to work 52 hrs/week, so it then it easily turns into 60-70 hrs. Not great for family time, especially with a one way hour long commute.
