Pros
Proa- they are really hard to come by. They have a standard benefit package (medical and dental is good). SM get stock, but they can't touch it for 3 yrs. bonus
Cons
stores run a low payrolls-managers have to boot strap projects all of the time. culture of company is thankless at the store level from DM>>>RVP>>>VP. no one is vested in your development. We have highly skilled mgrs in role for 5-7 years, but they keep being passed up for DM rolls, because the company keeps recruiting from Sears/Kmart. Work/Life balance is a mess. One weekend off a month. You are paid based on a 50 hour work week. most week are 6 days without comp time. high turnover of mgrs, associates, leads
