Cons
As an executive assistant store manager there can be many cons to the job including long hours at times with most of them being on your feet. Leading an entire store of personnel can be challenging at times. The company has recently merged with Alliance Boots and with many changes in the past couple years, there are many more changes to come, which can be very stressful and a bit much at times. The company is constantly re-evaluating and cutting budgets, which can be very difficult on team members. Especially on the assistant store manager, because of being salaried, you have to pick up the slack where no one else can.
