Pros

You can make a living wage. You are allowed to run a business. Given time to make mistakes, and learn from them Good bonds between most managers

Cons

Zero appreciation of work/family balance. Promotion standards advertised are lies if you want to get promoted kiss ass. Poor at scheduling upcoming meetings far enough to plan for them Senior management responds emotionally not professionally Store managers are babied then district and division level are treated poorly. Region and up can do no wrong (just ask them) Bonuses are being damaged by company growth and the company doesn't care that its people who have allowed growth are suffering.

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.
