Pros
The process has proven time and again to work. I've been doing this for a long time and have proven it to work with the right people in place. I love the work and training new store managers. The pay is decent but not for the stress and work load.
Cons
The company continues to state how much they appreciate us but Connie to make it harder on the store managers by cutting payroll budgets and adding more work loads. No one will keep a job if they are only getting appx 8-12 hours a week that's not part time. Even following the SMs required 50 hours the remainder of the budget does not get the work load completed in the 7 days before it starts over. Cannot retain an employee that you don't have labor hours to properly train. And just to verify my credibility DG currently has over 8 SMs running their own stores that I have trained 5 of which I hired myself. Absolutely no work life balance for store managers.
