What is it like working as an Assistant Store Manager?
April 2023
I enjoy the slept and customers, my only issue is the pay is not enough for living wages and the company is nationwide.
Assistant Store Manager in Florissant:
Pros: My customers. Work is very demanding, fast paced.
Cons: Pay rate. Company us nation wide. Originally started off caring about their employees, it now seems they care for the CEOs more.
February 2023
Stressfully involved.
Assistant Store Manager in Redlands:
Pros: The people I meet along the way
Cons: The company is consistently having the teams work on holiday days. Not the best work live balance.
February 2023
Very mediocre.
Assistant Store Manager in Knoxville:
Pros: I love the majority of the people I work with.
Cons: no matter how much I do, it is under appreciated and never enough. out of the 3 assistant managers, I work the hardest and get the least recognition because of the buddy system they have
February 2023
Busy and always learning.
Assistant Store Manager in Sandy:
Pros: The customer and my associates
Cons: The pay raises that won’t cover inflation and the market increases everyone got but salary
January 2023
Worked like a dog, paid less than hourly wage employees.
Assistant Store Manager in Edmonton:
Pros: the skin care and my direct employees, i manage a wonderful team and i plan to set them up for success while being 100% transparent on my situation with the company.
Cons: the stress, work load, the distrust from area managers, the gaslighting, the lying, there is so much wrong and i am so exhausted beyond words that i have given up trying to work my way up and i have put up a wall and am trying to find a way out no matter how much they push me into a corner to get me to stay. i do my work, as i am an amazing employee everything exceeds standard but i am constantly belittled and told 100% no for the wage i asked for and deserve and told that i will probably never make it to head office ever. a lot of people take credit for my work and sometimes i have to keep quiet the work i actually do to keep my store working because others would get in trouble, obviously these things are secret so i do not get credit for the actual amount of work i do. there is no over time pay so if i need to keep the store going and have to stay late i do not get paid for that. the excuse for everything is “that’s being a manager” and “that’s retail” even with the lack of support and value for human health and lives i believe these should never be excuses.
November 2022
Tetris Anyone?
Assistant Store Manager in Phoenix:
Pros: No two days are alike. I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions to accommodate the large amounts of freight. We receive new merchandise 3 times a week and the challenge is to get it to the sales floor in 24 hours. Inventory turn over is fast. I also enjoy the freedom we are given to make merchandising decisions based on what is best for our store and what we own.
Cons: Sales Associates are not paid enough, so there is high turnover. Pushing credit card sales. Too many company initiatives. Difficult to implement and maintain because of the need to hire and train new associates. Unrealistic expectations for training. Expected to run the business and train managers and new associates at the same time.
November 2022
Great company temmembers and customers.
Assistant Store Manager in Chesnee:
Pros: It's a fun place to work, we generally have happier customers than other types of retail stores, even part timers working at least 10hrs a week are eligible for full benefits, easy upward movement within the company
Cons: Payroll isn't evaluated often enough at corporate to provide good coverage. Regional and district managers don't follow up and handle issues quickly
