      Finish Line is an uncaring money-driven corporation who abuses their employees for profit

      Pros

      they pay you. there's nothing more on the pro side, sorry.

      Cons

      They require an impossible to achieve work-ethic that requires store managers to work 55+ hours per week during the holiday season, during the back-to-school season, and during any hardship that occurs... the store manager must make up for ( and work the hours of ) any employee who doesn't perform, regardless of the reasons why... fire an Assistant for stealing? great, now /you/ have to work their hours until we get around to hiring a replacement... blizzard coming? so what... work a 12 hour shift, sleep for 3-4 hours and be back in at 5am for inventory... they do not care about safety at all, they do not care about their employees at all, they do not care about /you/ at. all. they care about numbers, they care about tracking those numbers... and that;s it. that's all they care about.

      GM Position is Good Experience, Work Life Balance is Terrible

      Store general manager

      Pros

      As the store manager, you run the store as if it is your own (to a degree). It's good exposure to nearly every facet of business - top line, bottom line, margins, profitability, etc. Company offers 6% match on 401k plan which is very good. Benefits are ok. Company is financialy sound and District Managers (at least mine) want their store managers to succeed. There is so much turnover in management that, by default, it's easy to advance. The pay for store managers seems pretty good ($52k base+easily achievable bonus incentives) until you realize that it will only break down to $14/hr because of the amount of hours you work.

      Cons

      I want to preface by saying that I received several awards as a Finish Line store manager and left on my own accord for the reasons listed below: -Work/Life balance is a joke; you need to virtually live in your store. -Now that I'm removed from the company, I realize the National Managers Meeting is just upper management serving the GMs Finish Line Kool Aid. -They almost try and make you feel like you owe them for having such a 'great' opportunity but at the end of the day there are much, much better careers out there. Store Manger should not be a career. -Your staff is generally comprised of 16-22 year olds making minimum wage so you're not going to attract the highest quality of people. 99.99% of applications come from 16-18 year olds looking for a discount on Jordans. -Tough to recruit Assistant Managers and MITs because their compensation is awful. -They push the employee stock purchase plan on their managers with no education on investing and if its a good plan or not. -The biggest takeaway for me is that Finish Line promotes jobs and not careers. It blows my mind that some of my counterparts have been store managers for 10+ years. Why put so much into something that is only going to give you a small percentage of what you deserve?
