Manager of DG.
Retail Store Manager:
Pros: I like the people I work with.
Cons: 6day, 55+hr work week. Although store surpasses all sales goals providing over 5% more profit than forecasted it is High stress due to constant and never ending demands faced solely by the Manager due to companies payroll budget not matching needs of sales volume and heavy workload, Zero Supivisory or peer support. Staffing, scheduling, and employee management take 3% of total time. The remaining 97% you do the exact same job as everyone else, running register 25% of your time and stocking 50%. Cleaning, and merchandising 22%.
