      Company trying to reach the BIG BOX STATE with the use of people and no respect.

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice people that work within.

      Cons

      not enough payroll hours, long hours for managers, big heads come in all the time with changes after they already required change yesterday, no time to catch up on freight, no time to get the store to its cleanliness that the regionals would like for it to be, no respect from upper management outside of the store.

      No Personal Life

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Average pay and benefits * Team work is encouraged * Bonus incentives for Store Managers and higher

      Cons

      * Ridiculous amount of hours. Most Store Managers work a minimum of 50 hours per week, unless they are one the managers that just don't care about their job or their company * Hard to have a family life when employed by this company * A never-ending task list each day/week/month/etc. You are constantly in a state of being behind

      Too many hours

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This company is one of the few that is actually growing in this economic environment. Plenty of new stores being added.

      Cons

      Store managers schedule is for 6 days a week, all year round, not just during peak seasons. Payroll for staffing is too thin, way too many hours that the manager has to work alone in order to make payroll. Necessary tasks can not be completed with the hours given, so the manager has to work even more hours (60 hours minimum, closer to 70 is possible).
