Pros

Can move up quickly in the company (at least at the store level) Lots of resources (almost too many) Get weekends off.

Cons

Compensation not clearly stated. Training is not very good. Basically, you have to teach yourself or hope you have a good co-worker to teach you the system.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
