Pros

Good Pay, Good benefits, Simple job that does not require an advanced intellect

Cons

Be prepared to bring your A game, everyday, no exeptions. A physically challenging job that is not for the weak at heart

Pros

Great place to start a career. The best, and most liked, DM's are promoted to a director level quickly. Directors make well into 6 figures. Comapny car, great vacation time as well.

Cons

Not a good retirement package. High turnover in the DM and operations areas. Young leaders in the company make me wonder where everyone goes after the age of 35.

Pros

The pay. And maybe the benefits. As a District Manager Trainee you get a car, free gas with car, a company card with your name on it, and a generous interest-free loan (they deduct a fixed amount every month until you complete training, assuming you complete training. If you leave before, and you probably will, they take it out of your last paycheck.) all on your first day.

Cons

You, however will be working for that car, company car, and hefty paycheck. You will rise at five, be in by six, throw a load (unload the delivery) for three dreadful hours. You will do this in the cooler, you will do this in the freezer, the deep freezer, and you will do this alone. Then you and a single cashier will stock the shelves, cash people out, and you my friend, will not stop moving. Incidentally, there are no lunch breaks. On the plus side, you WILL lose weight. You will also be required to attend meetings on your day off. You will also be required to do homework and reading. A LOT of homework and reading. Then you will be required to go to headquarters on your day off, and go over your homework with the Operations Director. This is as fun as it sounds. In short, you will be rewarded generously for having no life. If you've been through the second interview, and have been offered a job, I'd basically tell you don't do it. You see car, you see large paycheck, rising steadily every year, and I'm telling you it's not worth it. But you probably won't listen. I wouldn't have.
