"After looking at the P&L from the entire marketing company. The average Manager makes about $43k-50K a year. Ask for a minimum of $43 or you will spend your entire career trying to make $43k and never reap the benefits. Be firm with the Marketing Vice President and let him know you want to be in one store training at that location till you are ready to take over another store. Do not take the job if his intentions are to bounce you around the entire marketing companies stores to fix their problems. Because once the works caught up there will be no reason to keep you around. Lastly complaints are inevitable, especially concerning those with a unreliable skeleton crew who don't take ownership in the company. You cant pay someone $8.75 hour and expect them to want to work for you if you cant even take care of their financial problems."

"60 hour work week, employees Upper Management has no idea what how to train Store managers for store. Upper management could not answer basic questions affiliated with the job which should be a basic requirement for their job. personal Overhead was ridiculously high, was spending around $600.00 just in Fuel and tolls to do job. Benefits were not given to management till 6 months after hire which is twice as long as most other companies. Operations are done with roughly less than 80000 a year for salary and wages. The employees are only hired as part time workers and do the very minimum to make it through the day. Upper management does not supply the GM with the proper guidelines to make the store run how they want it done."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Set up a better outline for the General Managers to follow. rewrite the operation procedures so that managers have a better flowing daily schedule to keep. More than anything"
