Pros

Well known retailer Health Benefits You can take on special projects with in your area with out a business reason

Cons

Operating System is disorganized Support depends on who you have as an SOM SOMs work in silos or are competing against each other for praise Technology and processes are extremely outdated Equipment is old and outdated Communication is terrible. if you are an OM you are never in the loop until a message needs to be delivered (these messages normally impact your hourly employees) OMs are expected to deliver results with out much support from leadership

Operations Manager

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, great on your resume, good training for performance managing your team, good benefits, Schedule was (3) 12 hr days or (4) 10 hour days so alot of free time to travel and recoup

Cons

Senior management, politics, heirarchy is just your senior operations manager and then the GM. Depending on who your senior was (potentially a former peer), it could stall your career development or help it - big knee pads needed to move 'up' or keep good standing, upper management didn't care to get to know your frontline employees. No ability to move up within the location unless into senior management or go to headquarters or store-side

Pros

Excellent benefits including health, dental, vision, 401k match, time off, tuition reimbursement, etc. Take full advantage if you can! Really committed to career growth and development. Base salary and bonus is also extremely competitive for the industry.

Cons

You give up weekends, holidays, and put in long hours. They say it’s 10 hour days, but that’s a good day! Very little opportunity to make vacation plans or travel during any peak seasons so the huge amount of vacation you build up is worthless.
