Assistant Manager

Pros

Full time, benefits, paid breaks, guaranteed hours, usually consistent scheduling, paid vacation time. Often I am the only manager in the store and mostly free reign over the crew ( cameras are installed in all of the stores in my area)

Cons

As a mid- level manager you deal with the same drama, baloney/ bs, and childish behavior you would find at most fast food places. Benefits have been stripped over the last year (we are franchise and with a new owner come new rules, restrictions/ regulations), we have lost being salaried, sick leave/ pay. There are far too often too few managers to go around and it is not uncommon to see 5-6 different assistant managers come and go in a year. That just adds to other problems lack of consistency, problems having control/ authority over the crew, and credibility with your boss. Crew turnover is often high, and training should be more extensive than it is.

Pros

Advancement is here for those that have strong commitment ,and can hang in there lots to learn they let you make your own hours as long as things going well. Pay is comparable to the business. Growing pretty fast. I like the fact that they actually let me run my store seem we get more people then most because of needed covered position.

Cons

They have way to much paper work. Takes away from what we do. Someone needs to cut it way down it would help retain manager keep everything from being so over whelming. Not very organized in this area.

Pros

Easy to move up, decent money.

Cons

Expectations are set very high, almost unachievable. The "sell out" to franchise companies has made the company forget "Dave's Values" which the company was built around. Upper management is not likely to EVER tell you good job, or thanks for your hard work. Worked 8+ years and devoted my life to turn around and have a trainee under me that gets paid substantially more than I do.
