Pros

As an assistant manager, my job was hourly, and over time is capped at 4 fours hours. So you can make decent money, and not be a slave to the company. Since the job is not a 9-5 Monday through Friday, you can schedule Drs Appointments and whatever you need without worrying about using sick pay or vacation time. If you're a woman or minority and a good worker, the company wants to promote you. They have a huge desire to see more women and minorities in higher management.

Cons

I never knew what my schedule was going to be three weeks from now- meaning that there is never a set point where I would have a weekend off or a certain day off- it can be random. I also worked all different shift times. It’s hard to make plans with friends because I often worked most night and weekends. I've been sexually harassed and verbally abused by management. District management doesn't care- they'll just shift managers to a different store if the upper management gets too many complaints.

Pros

Decent pay, the work isn't too hard, as an assistant manager you only have to work 40-44 hrs a week normally. Wage is hourly so anything over 40 hours is 1.5x. Paid holidays and decent benefits are also upsides.

Cons

The schedule changes from week to week so its hard to get any sort of continuity as far as a life outside of work. Sometimes you will be asked to work overnight shifts or drive 1-2 hours away to help set up a new store. Also as of late there has been a lot of hours cut, so more work is falling on the managers.

Pros

Easy to get hired, mindless tasks that a monkey could complete. Great way to earn 7.50 an hour and throw your youth away

Cons

Cold and brooding management does not provide any useful feedback but instead will suggest that you continue to "look busy" even when working as a cashier. If you are checking customers out at the register that is your primary job, you cant shuffle the gum around to make it seem like you are doing more than you are. Management also will not recognize when you provide outstanding customer service/aid a customer above and beyond but instead will come at you telling you to go down the deodorant isle and "face" the products or tilt them so the label faces the aisles.
