Pros
A paycheck is the only reason to manage a location for them. The DM 's try to keep it together and try to help.
Cons
The hours you have to work with only cover approximately 50 - 60 percent of the work that is mandated from a clueless headquarters. The buying and merchandising groups seem to stumble every week. New plan o gram changes on categories that were literally changed only 1 to 3 weeks prior. That is in categories that are relatively stagnant compared to fashion retail. How often can the equine category change. Major seasonal changes are completely underestimated on the amount of time it takes to complete. Their customer base is aging and shrinking. They are incapable of growing their margins that are probably 5 to 10 percent lower than they should be for a specialty retail chain.
