Pros

The salary is good, management for the most part is understanding and competant. If you are college graduate and are willing to relocate, you can move up the ladder quickly

Cons

If you are not in the MTP (management training program) It may be difficult to move up, even if you are outstanding at your job. Your district manager is required to hire new MTP's every year and promote them, which although you may be more capable at your job, you will be passed over. It is very hard for them to terminate or reassign underperformers (this may be a pro for some people) but for me, I find this terribly frustrating, because I excell at my job, as does the rest of my team, but we are held down by a few anchors. Company structure is designed to rapidly promote individuals who are willing to relocate and you can expect to make moves every 1.5 to 3 years if you want to advance. Average length of stay is 2 years in one position. Aetna medical insurance programs bites

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
