Pros
competitive pay for SMs flexible scheduling freedom of self expression you get to be a personal stylist its truly a fun job, until you get to the operational side of things
Cons
unexplained payroll grid drops (stores not given enough hours to accommodate management teams) astronomical increase in work (doing the job of 4+ people with not enough hours) everything we have to do is IBC (in between customers.. i.e. marketing, markdowns, floor sets, shipment, promo updates 3 times a week, Bopis, SFS, scheduling, etc. etc.) Management is pushed and squeeze until they run on empty, and then are pushed even further. Corp is too hands on as far as in store operations are concerned and very very much out of touch, weekly feedback is ignored by corporate schedule is made on Tuesdays for upcoming week (6day notice to schedule posting)
