Pros

It’s a wage that’s all

Cons

Too many field managers not enough store colleagues constantly cutting hours under the guise of taking tasks off colleagues then a few months down the line the tasks re appear under a different format but guess what no extra hours to do them. Too many people scared to complain because this is being negative. Store management expected to be available 7 days a week at the beckon call of the area manager. Expected to use own phone for work business and attend meetings on your days off. While field management have numerous pointless conferences stores can’t have enough staff to do all tasks that need doing and feel safe. If it doesn’t affect field management then it’s not a problem

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
