Pros

Good real world experience in running your own business unit. Relationships with other management employees. Develop good customer relationships over the years.

Cons

Long hours and days, sometimes working 6 out of 7 days. No staff to speak of because hours continue to get cut. Be lucky to find 2 employees in the store at the same time. Manager is to wear at least 5 different hats and yet still manage effectively. Manager responsible for DIY sales even though the marketing is the one to help drive those numbers. Perhaps stand on sidewalk and force them to buy paint.

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
