Svantaggi
Not the company I went to work for. Started out part time in college, then an assistant manager and store manager. Moved up to manager fairly quickly, my first two district managers cared about their employees and cared about them having a work/life balance. That all changed, war barely able to take all of my hard earned vacation time, store was consistently understaffed, and even when I was on vacation I was still tied to the store. I finally just stopped answering my phone. My last DM gave me grief for going on my maternity leave early because she wasn't ready for me to go out (she had known for 5 months), then wouldn't let me get the last week of vacation that I had no way to use paid out. While pregnant, I was at the store lifting paint and carpet alone, due to lack of staffing. I was run into the ground, missed so much outside of work because no one above me gave a crap about anything but numbers and micro-managing. Store hours were extended without bringing on more people, and my particular store was never busy during those hours.
