Pros

Benefits. And twenty more words so this will get submitted and people can read it. The pro, comes with a price.

Cons

Over worked and not compensated. If you're the manager, all falls on you. As expected. They don't provide hours or pay for good help. I've worked over my hours many times, and all I get told is," you're exempt, deal with it." They don't pay managers overtime. So if you work over 48 hours, you're working for free and you will never get anything out of it. You'll be mentally drained and expected to do more. They will squeeze every ounce of sanity out of you and not care if you're beat down. If you show any signs of weakness, they will want to replace you and demote you quickly. They no longer give you time to learn you're role. Selling gallons and making the corporation money is all they care about. They don't spread the wealth either. Sure we bonus if we make budget and get a trip at the end of the year. But what you won't get, is all the time back you spend away from your family to get there. There's never a good enough excuse for underperforming. Rained out for six month out of the year, too bad sale our paint. Recession hit, too bad sale our paint. This company is getting greedier and greedier to the point that they are driving their management out. It once was an awesome place to work, not anymore.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
