Great place to work, if you give it your all.

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Get to wear sneakers and shorts to work Learn a lot of great principles of management 30 percent off anything in the store

Cons

Forced relocation (I have been with the company for less than a year. They have moved me to three different stores. First store was 10 miles from my house, second store was 2 miles from my house, third store is 40 miles from my house) Company makes it seem as though you can move up the ladder, but I've seen them hire externally instead of promoting people that prove they can do the job Very hard minimum sales standards (if you miss the standards one week out of a month, you get written up. Two time written up, termination.)

A good career starter

Store manager

Business Outlook

Pros

At lower levels, there is a good deal of advancement opportunity. The discount is great and benefits are pretty good as well for this type of job. If you love talking to people and building customer relationships, this is the job for you.

Cons

While selling should be a key part of the business, it should not come at the expense of customer service. Selling expectations are blanketed across the board for all levels AM and lower, which is absurd, because as a manager you are not supposed to get fully involved in sales (pass it to an associate). Once you hit Store Manager, unless you are fully open to relocation (FULLY open - moving across multiple states), you can get stuck in the same store forever. Also, the DM's involvement in helping establish a management staff is very minimal - you are expected to use your rare time off to go recruit and find somebody.
