Vantaggi
The only pro is the sense of relief when you quit. HR are quite nice but their hands are tied so they can do nothing but offer a sympathetic ear. You will make some valuable friends with other SM's and TSM's who are worth their weight in gold.
Svantaggi
Store Managers are constantly belittled, berated and forced to work over their hours with no acknowledgement of their efforts. If there is an issue with the store, Regional Managers and Area Managers will play the 'blame game' and it will be you who is ultimately picked as a scapegoat and made to pay the price. You will not get any time off. Talked to like a child. Very little support if any from day 1 until you are either sacked or forced to quit. If they can, they will put you on extended probation whilst they find a replacement for you. A very good staff member was told 'it doesn't matter if you quit, we will still open tomorrow at 6am regardless'. This was by a Regional Manager! This is how much value is placed on employees. You are nothing but a number. You will no longer have a work life balance. Bullying is standard practice. Staff will become exhausted and demotivated. You are on your own. Take notice of all the company reviews. This is not just a few disgruntled former employees, we lived this nightmare. The high turnover of staff speaks for itself.
