High Expectations with Terrible Pay and Little to No Incentives

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee Discount is great (on their brand only) District Manager was friendly

Cons

Company is setup to pay as little commission as possible. Too often you get stuck working until 1:00-2:00am Corporate has no respect for sales or commissions by assigning 45+hours of operations per week. Upper Management (DM and up) always promising bonuses that never come. Goals set well above market expectation, competitor trends, seasonality, etc.

Pros

Employee Discount, District Manager is wonderful, the culture of the other store managers, the products, the customers, the competitive atmosphere, the work to life balance

Cons

The Pay. The one and only con to this job is the pay is ridiculous. You can't expect someone to run your stores for less than 30k a year. Anytime there is a budget cut, they take it out on the retail employees. They are sneaky and deceptive when they cut pay, and they even try to make it sound like some sort of reward when they "rebalance" commission.. aka.. drop it down to where they are pocketing more of your money.
