1. Benefits are the worse I have ever seen. $800 dollars a month for my wife, my son, and myself. This is with like $7000 deductible and that is their best plan.
2. They will continuously add more and more to your plate, expect you to do the job of 4 managers but with horrendous pay.
3. As a store manager, you bonus is dependent on your gross profit, so if you get stuck in a slow store, but hit all your goals, your commission will have a cap. However, if you are in a faster store, you will get more commission even if you don't max out your goals.
4. The micromanagement is insane. Getting 12 calls a day from your DM and RM, even on the days you are doing great, is insane. You can be having the best month, and if you are having one bad day, expect your phone to explode.
5. Work life balance is non-existance. You are expected to be available 2 hours before the store opens and 2 hours past when the store closes. It's your day off, well too bad. Forget the fact that you have an assistant manager, you are supposed to be at the call and beck for your boss.
6. As a manager, you will struggle to hire people. We live in a time where you can't tell someone their hourly is $10 to $13 per hour plus commission and expect them to be okay with that. Specially when every other month they keep cutting commissions and lowering them. When I started you could make a $1000 commission check with a decent month, but now making that requires 10x more effort.
7. Your stress levels will always be at 53453452345% because they keep coming up with ways of making your job harder. Heres the thing, if you are going to make my job harder, that is fine, but pay me more for my efforts.
