Pros

Great pay and 45 hour week for salaried store managers. Only rare occasions of travel or work outside of the hours of 6am-10pm.

Cons

Your experience will drastically change depending on your DM. Inconsistent expectations from store to store and district to district. 12 person crew per store, including a store manager can cause issues with sick calls and team morale.
