They have pretty good benefits

Pros

Petting dogs while you work

Cons

Expectations are higher and higher every single day, more added to your plate, while labor hours constantly go down. We create corporate positions every year but continue to take hours away from the stores. There are now district managers for the district managers and an expectation that every manager know the ins and outs of an always growing "HUB" (financial scorecard software). No payroll for GMs to have meaningful developmental time with their department heads....but get it done somehow or else.

Pros

Unlimited PTO. Some people are friendly.

Cons

Unless you are a Male you will not succeed here. Your opinions won’t matter, your professional history won’t matter.
