Pros

Salary was decent, always fast paced even when the store was dead.

Cons

upper management only looks to numbers and not the situation of any particular store. Demands all of one's time. got told "Figure it out" a lot instead of receiving constructive guidance. upper management utilized scare tactics and threats to try to "motivate"

Pros

Fast paced work environment, which makes your day go fast. In many communities you are doing good by making groceries available because you are the town store.

Cons

They give you almost no training and your district manager probably never worked in a store so they don't know any answers either. Their new model is to be very corporate with all the expectations and none of the PAY to back up the expectations.
