Pros

stock options, 24 days of a year

Cons

drawer change, you manage people who are not the brightest bulb in the box, you get 10% of the profit of the store but 100% of all lost. pay structure changes a lot mostly so its harder for you to hit bonus numbers so the company can keep more money

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
