Vantaggi
-employee discount (30-50% depending on position) -many opportunities for growth and advancement -visual merchandising freedom (to an extent) -yearly raise based on review
Svantaggi
-Managers receive little support from upper management- will undermine you in front of your employees when there's an issue -constantly receive contradicting instructions from corporate -not enough payroll hours to "task" for shipment, merchandising, new hire training, etc- expected to do it all during open hours -want you to focus on customers, but also get a long to do list done by the end of the day -employees receive no repercussions for blatantly defying you and breaking policy- nearly impossible to fire anyone -bonus program is nearly unachievable -set unattainable sales goals which really demotivates your team -small team, so very inflexible schedule for students or people with a life outside of work -on-call 7 days a week -make you use a whole week of PTO if you need a Friday or Monday off (for example: if you want to take Wednesday-Friday off for PTO, you will have to take Monday-Friday off, thus using 5 days instead of just 3)
