Pros
As a store manager, I make my own schedule and can leave work whenever I please. This makes it convenient for family/personal issues that one may have. Pay is okay for what I do. Over the last several years, OD has lost market share to Staples and some to OfficeMax so stores are not as busy as they used to be which equates to less work. If you don't mind kissing up to the RVP, DM, & LP manager, your life is pretty good. (i.e. calling for unnessessary advice, thus giving them the feeling of importance.)
Cons
We have to deal with daily "emergency tasks" that have to be done "or else". The tasks are not that big of a deal but they are a nuisance as many of them are inaffective to driving sales. Payroll cuts are another weekly occurence. But as I stated above, we are less busy so we just deal with it. With the current state of the economy, we don't know how secure our job is. This affects almost every job out there though. Also, OD focuses too much on upselling on technology items. It is more beneficial to me to not sell the item, rather than selling it without a warranty or service. As my Dm states, "just stay under the radar". Since everyone struggles with hitting the numbers, my theory is to stay somewhere in the middle.
