Poor management and no respect

Business Outlook

Pros

Good rate of pay (if you stick around). chance to progress within a short period of time. always something to do so you're not bored

Cons

Extremely hard work with sometimes far from realistic work time targets. Lucky to get a break, on an 11 hour shift you'll be lucky to get 15-20 minutes, in which time you might be called back out onto the shop floor. Management have no respect for staff and speak to you like garbage. No set hours. rota's change sometimes 24 hours before a shift, even when you're rota'd for a day off. Never finish on time, and can never seem to plan out a social life. Management threaten you with the possibility that you're going to lose your job almost constantly, rather than give you any friendly advice to keep you positive

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits were good. Good opportunity for a recent grad.

Cons

Company is stuck in the Stone Age. A lack of technology makes communication slow and time consuming. The pay is great for being right of college but after a few short months they throw you to the wolves running a store. 70-80 hours a week is common and basically expected while running a store. Once you finish training and take over a territory your hours stay about the same. The only way to move up in the company is to work yourself to death and show upper management that you care about nothing but your job. There is a lot of turn over at the DM level and many burn out quickly. In the division I worked in there were very few DM's over the age of 40 because most would quit or be fired by then.
