Poor pay, high expectations

Operations manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers become family and you get first pick of the clearance items.

Cons

Ridiculously low pay for the amount of work expected. I worked here for 4 years and was promised promotion after promotion that never came to fruition. Low pay causes employee turn over to be high and a solid cohesive team is never formed. For employees to stick around and put in the work it takes to run a store corporate needs to reevaluate what they offer their employees.
