Worked as a manager

Store manager

Business Outlook

Pros

It was a good learning opportunity and I could set my own schedule as long as I worked 45 hours per week. I was able to earn bonuses regularly.

Cons

The district manager was too harsh and negative. The pay was very low for the job and responsibilities. There were no raises and no real opportunity to advance or earn more I increased sales and was not recognized for this. The DM was always cutting back on the hours I could work my employees leaving the store understaffed unless I worked above and beyond the 45 hours. She also called me when I was on medical leave and pressured me to return early against medical advice.

Pros

It is very easy to move up the job ladder at the Shoe Dept. I have worked there for five years and while some days in retail are rough, it teaches you patience and respect. I have met some wonderful customers over the years that have left a lasting impression.

Cons

If you're in a management position as am I, sometimes the hours are grueling especially during the Holiday season. There is no Holiday pay offered or time and a half for those periods.
