Pros

You'll never work weekends, there's a lot of opportunity to have fun at your job and every day is certainly different. Business travel is a part of the job and there are a lot of small benefits like free clothing and food. Also, you're always treated like an adult and are given a lot of responsibility.

Cons

The pay at ~$32,000 a year is not great. Also, it does take between 2 1/2 to 3 years to become a manager and not a lot of people complete the program. There are also some bad employees to work with and management can come across as very incompetant.

Pros

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad

Cons

Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
