Pros
Fun place to work Great discount Customers are great to work with there
Cons
Not enough payroll is offered to support your store unless it’s December Store managers are expected to work 45-whatever hours you have to to support your store so you usually end up working 55 hours a week due to not enough payroll Plannograms used to be less specific so you had more freedom to have fun with merchandising but depending on your DM you should be matching product 24/7 and leave empty holes if the product hasn’t arrived yet You don’t know what shipment amounts you’ll get until it comes in so your ASM and freight team have to be flexible and if they aren’t you will get behind or you will have to adjust your own schedule every week to stay caught up Salary is way too low If you are under the age of 40 your upper management will not respect you and will not let you have your own ideas and processes Turnover is very high because pay is low for all positions I had 5 different DMs and 3 different RDs in a time span of 5 months so it was exhausting to continuously adjust to new expectations
