Pros

As A new General Mananger, I am training with the Genral Manager that is leaving.This is a great opportunity to see how a succesful manager has ran her store. The computer training is extensive to thepoint of being too much. You have to complete all courses your employees have to complete as well as management courses.......in less than 2 weeks along with on the job training.

Cons

The training for General Manager is fairly new and has not gotten all the kinks worked out. Alot to learnin a short amont of time.

Pros

good schedule, 40 hour work week, decent starting wages for management,

Cons

raises are not given out fairly, opportunities for advancement are few and far between, especially when you get into the management levels of the company, there are very few positions for store managers to move into.
