Pros

Learning the details of how to run a small business: marketing, merchandising, labor management, JIT/SCM, profit/loss oversight, etc.

Cons

Integrity violations are not dealt with as quickly as they would be in a corporate environment. In addition, if you're a FC, then chances are the only chances for advancement require a physical move (or 2-3 hour commute to the division office). Depending on where that office is (and cost of living), you might actually be getting a financial demotion. Finally, one of the biggest "concerns" with franchising is the slowness of change due to having to convince franchisees that a shift in strategy is warranted; this lack of agility is crippling when it comes to implementation of strategic initiatives.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Absolutely loved all the customer interactions I had when working there and loved how it taught me how to work with all types of customers.

Cons

Management was usually always weird with the rules. Would say not to do something and when a customer would complain, management would telll me to do it. And also scheduling days off was rough. I would give them weeks/months in advance and they would still try to schedule me. As well as trying to say "if someone robbed the store, the money would be taken out of the paycheck by whom ever was working the shift"
