ok for a start in big box retail management

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

provides solid training and support on the ability to increase metric/sales and allows for creative merchandising in order to increase sales.

Cons

Overall, very poor and ineffectual training on a tacked together, very poor, operating system. Add to this a company which does not provide the payroll to tackle its growing multi-channel tasks. i.e. - a company with a lot of growing pains.

Not if you are divorced and want to see your kids ever...

Assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hours 10 months of the year aren't bad. Customers aren't bad until around Christmas time.

Cons

I am divorced. I get my kids every other weekend. 48 days a year. If I didn't specifically request time, I got MAYBE 6 of those days off, and NEVER both unless i took personal or vacation time. Even though the other assistant would have been willing to work opposite weekends with me. NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. I did not hang out with the Manager and the other assistant. So I was never "trustworthy" to them because I did not break company policy with them... HR Does not take complaints of any employee at any level seriously.
