      Pay is Good, but that where the good part STOPS!

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary and Bonus is GREAT for a SM . I made 143k total compensation in 2009! Store environment is clean and neat ! Store average customer clientele is good.

      Cons

      Way too may hours for salaried SM and # salaried ASM's Always losing your day off to prepare for a big visit with no comp day off year around. Way too many visits from RVP, SVP and even higher. Upper management is VERY Arrogant and treats you like you are trash. Always in gotcha mode. look for all your Opps with No recognition for any wins! Way too much unnecessary workload that takes us away from the customer and adds NO value to the bottom line or the company profits.

      Seasoned Store Manager

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The compensation program was great in the beginning; however, soon after they say the stock options are great, but unforatunately, the stock is tanking due to upper management.

      Cons

      Advancement. Unless you were from the midwest or Target, you had no shot for promotion opportunities. The best one was when I was passed over as "not enough" experience, yet they hired someone 10 years younger with a Target backgound as an STL for 2 years and asked me to train them as a DMIT.
