Pros

I genuinely enjoyed the opportunity to lead and help build a new team from the ground up while managing a wide range of responsibilities. The role allowed me to mentor employees, support their development, and help create a productive, and collaborative work environment. I made a point to lead from the front, working shoulder to shoulder with the team and being actively involved in daily operations. I also valued strong cross-department communication and the opportunity to build positive interpersonal relationships across teams, which supported collaboration and operational success. The experience felt productive, and I appreciated contributing to the store opening and establishing processes early on. I also had positive experiences with business travel, which provided valuable exposure and learning opportunities for me. Also working in a fast-paced environment helped me grow professionally, and many technicians were hardworking and supportive under my leadership.

Cons

Hands on training was minimal for my position. Work-life balance was poor, with the expectation to work 6 days a week during the time leading to the grand opening of the store. Overall, this role was not what I expected with workload expectations for this position. Despite consistently working extra hours and contributing significant effort, recognition from Senior Management felt limited. My position did not qualify for Performance Incentives as multiple other positions did within the company. This was disappointing, especially given the additional hours, stress, and responsibilities during the store's Grand Opening process. With the position not being eligible for performance incentives, it could create challenges when motivating team members who had the opportunity for performance-based incentives themselves.

Thank you for the detailed feedback and for your leadership during the Phoenix grand opening. We’re glad you enjoyed building the team and mentoring our technicians—that 'lead from the front' mentality is exactly what we look for. We hear your concerns regarding the workload and the incentive structure for this specific role. Launching a new store is a massive undertaking, and your insights on how we can better support and recognize our supervisors during that process are incredibly valuable. We wish you the best in your future endeavors! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
