Pros

They will take anyone. I mean ANYONE. I was out of work for a couple years and was offered a PT Assistant Manager Position. I've had plenty of manager experience so I figured this would be great. However...

Cons

-Not enough hours. Staff expected to do the work of a 5 person crew with only 2 people per shift. -Outdated processes. I have NEVER seen a more inefficient way to unload a truck and put out stock. And with so few staff, the process breaks down even further. -When a company pays a wage like they don't care, they get employees that don't care. Don't tell me you're surprised! -Managers are little more than keyholding stockers/cashiers. We are saddled with policies that DMs and up simply will not back up the SM on. Everyone from a District Manager and higher that I have dealt with for any issues I've brought to them simply don't want to hear it. Yet they always want want to have long talks about why your store isn't performing. -Attitude of upper management is (direct quote) "Suck it up, this is Retail!" Um... I've seen and worked in many retail companies that didn't sink to this level of indifference and hostility.

Pros

Plenty to do to keep you busy throughout the day.

Cons

It's a lot of work. Even though you are an operations manager, you are spending most of your time stocking shelves and unloading freight from trucks. Most of the time you are understaffed and it is just you and 1 other employee in the store.

Pros

Cut and dry...monthly planner tells you what needs to be done, just do it and roll along. Decent assistant manager program to help manage my store.

Cons

Terrible bonus program...sometimes unreachable. I also wish I had some control of employee pay, so I don't have to ask for so much effort, and pay so little. Upper management (regional) prefers to come off threatening vs. helpful, making for a lot of stress when we know they're coming to visit a store.
