"As far as running my own store I loved being in charge of the results. From department sales to store sales in general. To being the person that coaches and motivates store associates and monitoring store expenses through P&L/G&L.The only part I disliked was that the assistant manager position was eliminated in April of 2013. This added a lot more tasks to the GM's since we were the only managers in the building."

"Pro: I have a great team of 3 who is willing to go the extra mile when we are in need of getting things done. We are able to come together as a team although there are disagreements and arguments over time. Con: lord and order is expected. Sometimes this makes the work harder than it is."

"I love most working with a wide variety of real estate projects (leasing or purchasing property) and working with many different Georgia Tech folks who are my customers.

"I love being a GM and am, at the risk of sounding arrogant, a fantastic one. My customers love me because I do anything I can to get them what they need. My co-workers respect me for the same reason. Bottom line is I get things done. If there is a mess, I clean it up. If sales are lagging, I rock them. If morale is low, I raise the roof."

"Inability to promote change because of set attitudes and procedures."
