When you start as a night manager they advertise an "averaged" manager salary of $36,000. They don't tell you until you're hired that you make $11/hour plus a monthly bonus that fluctuates depending on how your store performs. They also don't tell you that you work the overnight shift BY YOURSELF. As a 23 year old female at the time, that was very scary due to the homeless people and weirdos that lurk at night. On top of taking care of customers, they have a list of 30 things for you to get done before morning shift arrives and your expected to restock the entire store alone. You are also FORCED to work overtime with no scheduled breaks during your shift. You can eat when it's slow or you have "down time" which is like, never. The work made my back hurt terribly and made me an insomniac. I couldn't sleep when I'd get home or on my days off which were Wednesdays and Thursdays, which also wreaks havoc on your social life. Say goodbye to your relationship because unless your partner works nights too, you'll barely see them and you'll be extremely tired whenever you do.

The current store set-up has placed unreasonable expectations on the store employees. Employees receive NO breaks, work long shifts, harsh upper management techniques, a sexist work environment, evaluations designed to promote those employees that have found favor (warranted and unwarranted) with the supervisor that rarely visits the store, (n fact, most promotions are based on kinship/friendship rather than merit), benefits have been greatly reduced in the last few years (the "insurance" costs are high, the company has an inconvenient in in-house clinic where you are required to see the company doctor, pick up prescriptions and specialty doctors are extremely limited), and unfortunately after so many years on the job, it is very much a company that promotes those employees willing to negotiate their character.
