Cut backs on payroll weekly to help the district out because another store or two was struggling. When this happens it just hurts the stores that are making plan and profit. The drama between associates, and feeling like it is a daycare. Always know to be personable but not personal. The lack of balance, working over 52 hours a week in managment and having no personal time. Full time and part time associates get great balance between work and life. Just put your time off request in months ahead of another. Watching associates TRY to steal defective items from back bay door in receiving. Always trying to stay ahead of the game and set new planograms and product. It does seem like it is a man's world though, just make sure that you can keep up and hold your own because those 50 lb feed bags get heavy after awhile. Managers get a great bonus structure but share the wealth with the associates, they are a part of the team too and do the majority of the hard work.
