Pros

the pay was great, the rules were lax, the job was satisfying, had plenty of room to grow up the ladder, this is probably the best position within the whole company, unless you get up to GM

Cons

One con was that pay grades are rigidly pre-determined, so once you were at the top of that job's range then no raises unless you move to another position

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
