Vantaggi
Due to high turnover, you hone your interviewing skills. Owing to industry-low wage rates for hourly associates, you gain useful experience dealing with every type of "difficult employee."
Svantaggi
As an account manager, you manage very little. At best, you have some hiring and firing authority. You have no budgetary authority over wages or supply purchases. The account manager is expected to train new hires without degrading service to the client. However, the firm allows 0 hours for orienting and training new employees. Account managers do not have the authority to place help wanted ads to maintain a strong staffing pool. Ads cost money and the company--despite being in a service industry--is loathe to invest in people. Account managers are expected to build a cheerful, professional service team from a population that couldn't make it at Taco Bell or Wal-Mart. Further, the firm provides account managers with no resources to reward good behavior. The only approved employee communication form is an EWN (Employee Warning Notice)--a disciplinary tool.
