Retail Store Assistant Manager Reviews
What is it like working as a Retail Store Assistant Manager?
April 2014
Be Happy.
Retail Store Assistant Manager:
Make sure it is what you want to do. Be prepared for uncooperative customers. Learn your product.
March 2014
Low Wages For Managers.
Retail Store Assistant Manager:
Pros: I work with a great team and my general manager makes sure we have a work/life balance. I currently have 5 weeks of paid vacation each year and will top out at 6 weeks this September.
Cons: The low wages for managers. After almost ten years of service with the company, seven of those years I have been in some form of manager, I do not even bring home 20K a year. It is hard to give a job your all when you feel as under appreciated as I do.
January 2014
Am I Paid Enough?
Retail Store Assistant Manager:
Pros: Drinking tea and learning about health benefits of ingredients.
Cons: The company's expectations of me against what I'm actually being paid. Added stress. The "trendy and preppy" approach to customer service which isn't my natural demeanor.
January 2014

Satisfied
Retail Store Assistant Manager:
Pros: I like the people that I look after-the customers and the mostly great staff members that I work with. The owner is also an open door person and is willing to listen to any concerns.
Owner is generous to host a Christmas party every year for the staff.
Staff interactions with quizzes, etc. to keep morale up and pot lucks though out the year.
Cons: Drama amongst staff members that is not always dealt with in a timely fashion or not at all.
Some customers are extremely rude.
