Pros
You have a lot of freedom as a manager to run your store as you see it. If you like to be autonomous this isn't a bad place.
Cons
First, the salary for managers is well below the average for retail and service. They use to pay well but now most of their managers are below $40K. Second, they are searching for a magic fix instead of focusing on the basics of business. I saw this with Kmart Pre and during the bankruptcy.Third they keep hiring executives, Assistant VP's, and various Senior VP's but they cut store payroll. The company is becoming very top heavy, disconnected, and blind to the daily needs of the stores. You will work 55+ hours. Bonus is not existent, mystery adjustments to your P&L at month's end that wipe out your gross profit are common. There is zero chance of you being promoted to an Area Director. They ALWAYS hire outside.
