Pros

Pay is competitive, I earn bonuses based on how profitable the store is run is

Cons

Work Life Balance, if you have a family and want to spend all the time with them this is not the job for you. You are in the store most of the day light hours and schedule is not very flexible for family events so you can go.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
