Pros

Flexibility with visual presentation of store. Great discount for the Store Manager 50%.

Cons

PTO policy forces you to take a full week if you want a actual fri - sun off. As well as Mondays you are not allowed to be off unless you are taking a full week of PTO. If your DM doesn't like you they will talk bad about you to the other store managers in the district as well a find reasons to get rid of you. There is absolutely zero support in helping you get what you need ( training , product, visits ect ) to be successful from your DM or Regional. The bonus plan is worthless since they goal you so high it's not achievable. The ability to grow into a higher position is a joke. They prefere to hire outside the company vs. internal development and promotion.

Pros

I loved the flexibility of my boss scheduling me according to free time with my college work.

Cons

I felt like it was a very serious job and sometime my boss would make me go up to guests and keep askign them questions right when they walk in the door.
