Pros
I had been with the company for 7 years..I obviously know what I’m doing and don’t need to be micromanaged which was nice until management changed…
Cons
Upper manager was CONSTANTLY changing! I had three DMs in a three year period and my store opened during the pandemic…There were days I would not be able to take a lunch break because I was by myself from open to close….I would travel for the company and drive to other stores to help out when that really wasn’t my problem or concern..I had a staff of three people…one full time and two part time and we made it work but they were constantly asking me to go help at other stores and I was like who is going to run my store! They “appreciated” me when they needed something from me but never appreciated me or compensated me for pretty much running a store myself. The last district manager I had was 23 and has not even been with the company very long and you can tell she’s immature and very unprofessional. She called the store one day and asked my staff to cover another store because she didn’t want to “have to work on her day off” and they ended up closing my store early so the ONE person who was working at my store could cover the other?! The DM lives here and was in town and that’s her job!! I was shocked…I always worked over 40 hours and never said anything because I’m the manger that’s my job but my superior didn’t have the same mentality. I cared more than she did. I can only imagine if I had told her that I didn’t want to work on my day off…that wasn’t an option…..
