Vantaggi
Good Pay out of school. Relaxed atmosphere. Direct supervisors/coworkers have been great.
Svantaggi
Training falls on you and immediate supervisors (store management) with mixed results. There are no clear standards, just some vague standards. Up/down communication with District Management is limited because they don't allow criticism. They have either been not deciding to promote me for unknown reasons or stringing me along, we'll never know because they don't allow the necessary communication. Basically, they have a system that they follow it. However, sometimes it's necessary to go outside of their comfort zone/system sometimes to solve problems and get ahead. Otherwise, you have a stagnant situation. I came in with a company merger, which meant I had twice the roadblocks. District Management are people that it's going to be up to you to handle, and you have to find a way. These people want to hear all solutions and no problems all of the time no matter what.
