Assistant Manager Review

Assistant general manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for Assistant Management. Should fall between 27,000-34,000 annually. Training is somewhat neglected, and instead you feel like a regular worker while training. In the end, the company will find a way to complete your training for Assistant Manager and you will be moved to your store. Entire training process takes about 6 weeks.

Cons

There are many people who are not happy with their career, so just smile a lot and stay positive.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is important to the company, the culture is one of a kind. Some very caring people that work for the company.

Cons

Advancement is seldom available and opportunities that are becoming available are not communicated to current employees unless you research yourself and even then they may not be accurate openings.

If you want to achieve limited success and recognition, this is the place for you.

General manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free meals. Various shifts available so that you can have a flexible schedule to fit in other obligations of your life. You get to meet a lot of people. It is fast paced and can be fun. Dealing directly with the public is rewarding when they leave satisfied.

Cons

Ridiculously long hours. A 10 hr day is the minimum. Stores are open almost every day of the year while the corporate offices are closed for holidays in which all workers at the store level are expected to be there and be paid straight time. Sick days do not truly exist. Considering another member of your management team must work in your place, you are obligated to make up the day. Vacation time is limited to one week at a time and must be scheduled months in advance.
