Manager Trainee program available for college grads, and if you can pass the tests you can be in management in 3 months. You can make management with a high school degree if willing to work for it. Pay is well above average for most positions, from corporate level to store level. Benfits include health, dental, 401k. Profit sharing is great after a few years (it goes up to 15% of your gross after 7 years). Management bonuses. Team atmosphere. Lots of variety in every position. Growing company, even in today's economy.
