"It's retail" is no excuse. Store management is a tool for them to use and discard. Will transfer you anywhere, regardless of your ability to travel there. Mangers, assistants are constantly in the crosshairs, hourlies are safer but may find themselves managers by vacuum in a very short time. You may work excessive hours due to manloading. 70+ hours a week is not unheard of for a store manager, because the manager must cover hours that are provided by the budget. Every manager's experience is different, be careful where you go, you can go from a healthy environment with good store security to a total wasteland in one transfer, then it's your fault when things go awry. Many stores have no security system for product retention and store management is fired after 2 bad audits. You are often in positions where you must run embroidery, watch the door, and do Point of Purchase in parallel. Corporate sales support is incompetant, and unresponsive to the people in the channel. Corporate would rather sell 3 dollar embroidery on a 20 dollar embroidery than a 36 dollar hat without it.

-You manage a smaller store in most cases, so you aren't really supervising many people, which makes it difficult to staff. If someone quits, you have to train them and work the extra hours on top of the 45 hrs mandatory you are working. This is frustrating at times when it seems you have a lack of leverage in this case. -The compensation could have been better, but I think that is the case in most sales jobs. -When supervising over 70hrs of employees other than yourself, you do not receive overtime pay, which isn't great because you are working more hours during holiday.
