Pros

people made us smile mgrs well another story ..

Cons

truck shipments too large ..backroom and sales floor too small for what they send and if mgrs actually worked on the floor and not just in the office or expect the team to do all their work it would be a better place...giving asm and other key members a bonus like they do the mgrs..would actually be nice since we were doing the work in displaying the products selling the products to the customers while the so-called mgr sits in the back on her duff not doing a darn thing ....yeah it's true the mgr i had coul not even merchandise her own store without my help...and she gets paid the big bucks...wow

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
