Inconsistent expectations and poorly structured training

Store manager trainee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Stores are closed on most holidays. Lots of work makes the day go by quickly.

Cons

DMs are hired straight out of college and often have poor leadership. Most cannot think for themselves or challenge their own leader which makes decisions take much longer than necessary. Expectations vary greatly among DMs which causes inconsistency between stores. Training is poor on all levels. Most employees feel like they don't know how to do their job properly and there is never any time to give additional training to them.
