Pros

If you put in the hard work, you will shine above the other mediocre ASMs and advance into upper management. Great benefits for salaried employees. Competitive pay and vacation time. I enjoy not having a desk job and working one-on-one with associates and sups. I have been very lucky to have an amazing store manager that respects time off and allows two weekends off a month and I never have to close more than twice a week.

Cons

If there is a visit in the works then you will definitely put in 12-16 hours a day Holiday hours are insane and will leave you drained for about 2 months. They give an extra week of vacation after holidays to compensate for it. There are days where projects will consume your life and you won't have the payroll to have associates assist

Pros

Flexible schedule, great discounts, getting to know the NICE customers who recognize you, um and that's stretching it a bit.

Cons

Crappy, if any, hours, unfair promotion of others, starts at minum wage and BARELY goes up from there (even after working there for 2 years), poor and lazy management, inside drama, have to remind management about breaks...not worth standing on your feet all day just to make 64 dollars on an 8 hour shift....
