      Opportunity for advancement but the pay still sucks

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is growing right now and there is opportunity for advancement. I started as a cashier less than one year ago and now i am assistant manager.

      Cons

      The pay scale needs to be adjusted. The company expects a lot from you for minimum wage and only being allowed 20-25 hours a week for a cashier. That is not enough money to live off of. If you are not a key holder you have to be part time and have open availability. Makes it hard to plan anything when you are working 3 or 4 hours 7 days a week with a constantly changing schedule.

      Reponsible for directing 150-200 Stores and 10-12 District Managers

      Pros

      You work with good, hardworking people and are able to teach and train and make an impact on their growth and the business. The employees are very eager to do a good job and want to learn more and do better. The store and the store management can be active in the small communities we serve.

      Cons

      The business is very top down and doesn't take feedback from the field. Labor dollar constraints create a enviroment that is too lean.

      Forget your personal life

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They pay you every week

      Cons

      Expect to work 65 to 70 hours per week and that means physical labor on your feet stocking, cleaning, running a register cleaning toilets, sweeping , and mopping the floor cleaning the parking lot taking out trash etc. Oh and by the way you will need to manage every aspect of store ops as well. No thanks will be given, you will never get done with the tasks. You will never catch up. Your pay will average less than 8.00 per hour.
