Pros

It was a tremendous gift to be able to coach employees and participants toward success and see many blossom so beautifully. I did feel like I had a lot of autonomy as a manager and was not micro-managed.

Cons

As a retail store manager I often had to go to the store on days off. I felt like I was on call seven days a week. If you are motivated by money you will not be happy.
