Not worth it

Assistant store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The assistant store manager pay scale is respectable , and well above respectable when you consider it’s retail.

Cons

Everything else. - zero work life balance (10-12 hr days, every day) - 4th quarter of the year they work you like a dog - never enough payroll to staff the store and complete any tasks -customers are god awful and treat the store like it’s their trash can -predatory selling of a high interest credit card is required and don’t let your store not hit its goal. Your DM that is 20 years removed from the store itself and detached from reality comes down hard -no work life balance at all -no thanksgiving or Christmas with families if you don’t live in the same city as your family. -only thing the company cares about is selling credit, staying under your labor budget and meeting sales

Not Bad, Good Place To Learn

Sales associate/cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You have the opportunity to learn how to navigate in a high pressure environment with, high demands and how to work with difficult personalities.

Cons

Most of the pressure is on the cashiers to reel in the push of credit cards. Location dependent, there can be a hierchacy where you can see favoritism and cliques. If you don't fit into one or the other, you're outcasted or singled out.
