Pros

Get to set your schedule a month ahead of time. Medical/dental/vision Decent Salary for the work expected Have a minimal say in who your assistant management team will be. Worked well with my District Manager.

Cons

No room for Growth from GM. Constantly hiring from outside the company for the next level up from GM. Not consistent with necessary metrics to enter the Joint Venture partner program. ( monthly profit sharing/bonus program)

Pros

Youre out of the store a lot, you get to listen to your music/book/podcast a lot, good tips from customers most of the time.

Cons

Driver drama due to order assigning protocols. They replaced most delivery drivers with 3rd party delivery to save money.
