"A store manager assumes a great deal of the day-to-day operations of a business. The manager typically hires and manages a sales and inventory staff, oversees daily deposits and often is required to open and close the store. Sales records, inventory control, ordering supplies and customer service usually add to the daily responsibilities. While the job can be overwhelming, there are various advantages to taking the helm as a store manager. As a store manager, you have the opportunity to wear a number of hats and maintain flexibility in your duties. In addition to managing the staff, you are responsible for financial accounting at the end of your shift. You may be required to order inventory and keep track of sales to ensure you have sufficient products on hand. You interact with customers, helping solve problems when they occur. You often play a role in settling disputes among the staff. As a leader, you set the tone for the operations, making it a more enjoyable place for you to work as well."

Assistant Manager at Enterprise Rent-A-Car
in Charlotte, NC

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Good for a first job, not for long term."

What do you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"The only positive aspect of working here was the people. Everyone you worked with minus upper management was awesome."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask a lot of questions. Be very observant during the branch observation."

What don't you like about working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

"You work TOO many hours. There is no time for personal life, only just work. There is no trust within the company, anything that is said or done in secret is really not a secret, everyone does or will know, it's a gossip fest. You have to wash cars in the elements. The pay is very low compared to what a college grad should be making and the hours are ridiculous. This is a sales job, which by the way no one will tell you that until after you are hired. Promotions are only given to those who can sell their products to customers, and you don't want the promotion because you are not compensated accordingly."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Care more about the employees than money! Maybe if you paid your employees accordingly and made a better work environment more people would stay. Retention might be better."

"the worst company of my life I would say."

What do you like about working at Compare Infobase?

"its not even a company. I want to quit this company as soon as possible. the only reason I am still into this company is because I have already spent few years here and I don't have any good choice. the company culture sucks and the CEO simar prit singh is an ass*ole. he wants only money and money not for the company but for his own needs. they don't pay employees PF which is against law. they also don't pay on time for the work done by its employees. mostly they pay on a bimonthly cycle. the only thing you would learn here is to cut, copy and past."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"first of all don't get interviewed by this company. you will regret it at a later stage. you learn nothing from this company except."

What don't you like about working at Compare Infobase?

"the company culture sucks and its management are crazy about the money. no one is cared about the company. they only need is that they walk out every month with heavy pay check. the company is not paying employees PF and still they keep deducting that amount from the employees salary. there are many legal issues with this so called company. to tell you the truth this company is blacklisted in the NASSCOM list of IT companies."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"they can't improve at all. please work with other choices."

Assistant Manager at The Walking Co.

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Unbelievably bad ethics when it comes to upper management respect for employees."

What do you like about working at The Walking Co.?

"The people I interacted and worked with on a daily basis."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This job can be beneficial if you plan on only being there for a short time as a part time sales associate. If not, stay as far away from it as you possibly can. Also, beware that you'll need to check your pay check in full detail because they will try to cheat you any chance they get and then take weeks to respond to your inquiry once you realize their mistake."

What don't you like about working at The Walking Co.?

"Their disorganization and upper management's lack of employee respect. I was fired without a reason and without any termination papers. Force employees to make impossible goals that change frequently making them increase when you've had a good previous month, but never decrease when traffic is down. If you fail to bow down and worship higher level management you can count on being fired without just cause despite the fact that discrimination based on personal feelings of a person is illegal. They force employees to push orthotics and their exclusive brands onto every customer despite what the customer's needs may be. Employees are told to scan every customers feet with a digital foot analysis machine that fails to work on a constant basis. On top of this, they insist that it will wow the customer and basically distract them from realizing that you haven't been trained on how to help them. This machine supposedly helps an employee determine what type of footwear to suggest to a customer, but how it does this is never explained. It tells you their arch type that could be seen by looking at the customer's feet and a guess of size that could have been provided by the customer. In other words, the thing that is highly relied on is absolutely useless, but if you don't obey the command to use it on every customer you'll get written up."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Honestly, you would be better off getting rid of most of the upper management personnel and starting from the ground up."
