Unfair pay favors outside hires with comparable experience

Assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Good discount -Sweet coworkers -Free shoes sometimes

Cons

-No commission -Incentives are laughable and unfairly cater to high-volume locations only -Pay structure favors new outside hires over loyal employees because it doesn't adjust to inflation fast enough. Especially in management. There is a huge pay disparity where assistant managers at one location can make as much as store managers in another location in the same district.
