A Poor Career Choice.
Retail Manager:
Pros: Customer interaction.

January 2014
No Flexible Work For Night Managers, Working 12-14 Hours A Day.
Retail Manager:
Pros: I enjoy management and work well with the staff on my shift.
Cons: The work to life ratio is work and no life. You are expected to work at least 1-2 hours after your shift and start 1 hour before it so an extra 3 hours a day. This results in your working week is work and sleep. You're lucky if you can manage time for 6-8 hours a day. This then tends to lead to exhaustion so you sleep most of your days off. No time for life.
January 2014
Responsible for managing business.
Retail Manager:
Pros: There is no pressure.
Cons: There is no pressure.

Understand the developmental journey. Understand potential of earnings and the full package. Be able and willing to commit to long term pace and energy required to fulfill long hours and unsociable hours. Be willing to perform to customers and team on a consistently upbeat basis. Be willing and able to develop self and others.
December 2013
Career path.

Not be friend with staff.
