Pros
Being able to express your personal style and fashion. My team members were great. Support from DM Was great-at first My customer base was AWESOME
Cons
The mandatory music videos we had to endure we're ridiculous at times. Getting hired for a 45hr per week SM position but then being required to work no less than 55 hr (and up to 70 hrs per week at times).....typically consisting of a 6 day work week which included no less than one double and working a good 13 days in a row (which has got be illegal somehow) Slave labor for key holders being paid only 8$/hr but being required to do the job of an assistant manager- unfair only begins to describe that scenario. After about two months, my DM was MIA on her 'office days' where it was our weekly catch up with her. She promoted the sense of 'setting her team up for success'.....more like, if you aren't on board with my mind set then screw you. She'd show up out of the blue, I think to try and catch the store doing something that could get me fired, so she'd have a valid reason to fire me.....my store didn't make plan each week/month. But I was consistent with all my operations, inventory control, loss prevention and all that. So no internal theft at my store, which I think frustrated my DM. She had to fire 4 managers for bad audits/internal theft, in the course of three months. And she lost roughly 6 more management team members in her district over the following three months because of her style of management and lack of training. There was so much stress and time spent at my store that I was barely home. And when I was home, I wasn't really there because I had no energy left for my family and household chores. My fiancé and I were constantly fighting stopped counting the Boy Scout events I missed because I had to work more hours than I should have. NOT A JOB FOR SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY ENJOYS SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY
