COMMENTS

I would describe the company as inconsistent. Policies and procedures change often which is very frustrating. As a store manager you report to a DM-district manager. This is the person who decides how you run your business. I had many different DMs over the years and they all were pretty different.

You end up working between 50-80 very stressful hrs per week. The company is very driven and they want to be the best at any cost. They squeeze everything they can out of their managers and then some. When you do well they do lavish praise on you but if do not so well…expect to be seriously chastised. The dress code is a black suit everyday.

COMPENSATION

Your pay relative to how many hours you worked is low. I earned in the $50s.
