Pros
Store Manager base salary is high ($72,000 or so for external hires). Other "management" gets paid pennies and associates should expect minimum wage.
Cons
Horredous, low level District Managers who are ruining this company Most store managers almost definitely are there because they have either: A. Worked for Express for years or B. DMs got desperate and will hire anyone Absolutely no work/life balance for store managers (I worked every single day except for a few week days per month) CHEAP clothing Its impossible to hire quality people when we are offering them $10 an hour or less. Assistant managers make less money than sales associates at other companies. Training for SMS is an actual joke. You sit at a computer by yourself for 2 weeks straight clicking around on their internal website
