Cons

My specific location had seen A LOT of turnover in management. I being one of them, my manager specifically, did not give me appropriate training for the ASM role. My manager got fired and had I had proper training I could have stepped up and filled the role in her absence. That wasn’t the case. My area manager also did not support the team.
