Pros

Fast paced and opportunity to move up quickly. Learn the job by shadowing current manager or assistant manager.

Cons

No structure to avoid new trainee shadowing a new assistant manager who is also learning. Quickly moving up doesn't mean that the person is actually doing well. All it means is that the new trainee can quickly memorize policies. No regard to work ethic or leadership ability. Just based on passing a test on company policies.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
