Pros
Reasonable pay, was basically offered what I asked for.
Cons
I have never encountered such awful, petty people in my life. As a new hire to the company, I was never given a proper chance to excel. I was given a poor on boarding, over 7 days, and then was expected to assume a well seasoned management role. I understand that a lot of learning comes from experience, but to have every single misstep documented is not the correct way to teach someone. In my interview, I was told that I would be leading with a team of managers who fostered positive, family environment. This couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone, other managers included, simply looks out for themselves. One of the perks I was told about was a work/life balance. No such thing exists. I understand that it's retail, and I know you have to schedule for the business, but there is no reason that I should be at work until 10pm every Friday and Saturday of the month when there is a team of 5 managers. The store manager bullies all of the associates and the managers, she . And the district manager? She says she is available for anything we may need, however, simply ignores emails.
