Pros

When your chain of command is good, your store is good, and your numbers are good you won't make bad money for a recent college grad. Due to the low employee and especially the management retention rate the company is always hiring regarding of economic conditions so if your desparate for a job you always have an option here.

Cons

If your chain of command is uptight, your store isn't good and your numbers are poor life will be miserable, if not unbearable. If you're stuck with a store where people call out every day your life is going to be miserable. You either have to find someone available from your store or another that is available, not going to be in overtime and willing to come in and work the shift, otherwise you will have to cover it yourself.

Pros

stock options, 24 days of a year

Cons

drawer change, you manage people who are not the brightest bulb in the box, you get 10% of the profit of the store but 100% of all lost. pay structure changes a lot mostly so its harder for you to hit bonus numbers so the company can keep more money
