Pros

-Potential for upward advancement -Immediate and real responsibility in managing a $20-$60 mil/yr business -Community oriented: Company gives back 5% of profits to the community, store locations conduct regular volunteer/community outreach events -Ability to interact with and manage a diverse workforce (age, culture, religion, sexual orientation etc.) -Strong focus on personal development, constant performance feedback provided at all levels of employment

Cons

-Weekend and holiday work requirements detract from personal well-being (work/life balance) -"Take it or leave it" development/promotion track -Transfers to potentially distant (hour or more commutes) store locations every 1.5-2 yrs. -Typical "politics" that are present in every corporate setting -Unrealistic expectation to always "manage talent" (constant focus on firing the 10-20% of store team that are bottom performers)

Pros

Fast paced, team member discount, people work relatively well together, fun activities on Friday in the break room like ordering team members pizza

Cons

The constant pestering to meet red card requirements when not many people want another credit or debit card in their name, it can be difficult especially when everyone is in a hurry
