Do you need to have a corner office with a window and a secretary to assist you?
If so, Green Lantern may not be right for you. Green Lantern managers do not have white collar jobs. Our managers do have offices at the locations, but they spend very little time there. Effective managers spend 80% of their time working with their team players and interacting with customers.

Do you mind getting your hands dirty?
Green Lantern managers are often hands-on. They may have to fix a pump, ring up a customer, or demonstrate techniques to a team player. They work and train in the position alongside their team players. They do whatever it takes to be successful.

Do you believe seniority or an advanced degree should determine your pay?
Green Lantern managers are rewarded based on their performance - not just their time in a position or whether or not they have a college degree. We hold managers accountable and reward them for obtaining results.

Do you prefer an 8-5, Monday - Friday job?
Green Lantern Convenience Store and Self-Service managers are responsible for 24 hour-a-day, seven day-a-week operations; the Express Service managers have 14 hour-a-day, seven day-a-week operations. Working 8-5 Monday through Friday is normally not enough. Green Lantern managers typically work more than 40 hours per week. On the other hand, Green Lantern does not expect or accept managers working an unreasonable number of hours. On average, managers will work between 45 and 55 hours per week and are encouraged to make time for family and community activities. A successful manager should miss few recitals, games, school activities, and other events that make up family life.

Do you want a job title that sounds impressive to friends and family?
Although Green Lantern is a very professional company, the car wash industry, in general, suffers from a poor image among the general public. Telling people you are a car wash manager won't turn many heads, yet Green Lantern managers and team players take great pride in our company. Pursue a career with us only if you will be proud to say, "I manage a car wash (or convenience store) with Green Lantern."

Do you want to work "only" with business professionals?
For many team players, Green Lantern will be their first job. Green Lantern managers mold and motivate front-line workers to be professional and take pride in their work, but this is a constant challenge. At times, Green Lantern managers have to deal with unprofessional behavior. Managers who do not enjoy this challenge are unlikely to succeed.

Will a career move be good for you and your family?
It has been our experience that manager candidates are most successful when career decisions are made with their family in mind. A candidate's career move to Green Lantern is likely to succeed only if the move is good for the candidate's spouse and family.
