Pros

Don't have to work weekends because all stores are closed. The shop didn't have too much traffic all day. Relaxed work environment, being able to work outside was nice.

Cons

Dealing with upset customers on a regular basis. Doing a lot of work to sell very insignificant products, i.e. screws, bolts ect.

Pros

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Cons

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
