Pros

As a DM you had company car, ability to set your schedule and plan you activities. Pay was decent

Cons

Very little work life balance. While the concept is preached, the reality of life in the company at the DM level is there is very little free time. Over the last 2 years, there seems to be a lack of decided direction. At least 2-3 times a year the focus of what the company wants will change and the execution expectation in immediate. Last, even with stores that are growing in sales, payroll budget to the stores are shrinking.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
