Pros

The product really sells itself. Very little salesmanship involved really. The freedom to make your own decisions about how you want to run things is fairly open. The pricing edge on beating a competitors price is very strong.

Cons

Upper level management has no clue what the stores actually do and it seems like they don't care to know. All the stores are very understaffed and underpaid. Depending on the store, the difficulty of achieving sales plan could be absurdly easy or absolutely impossible. There is no real middle ground. My biggest complaint is really that as a store manager your responsibility level is unrealistic for how understaffed the stores are and the hours are at best going to be 55 hours a week.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
