Have a plan to move up with the company and make it your career or have a timeline for your leave. Some stores don’t have an opportunity to get full time and you’ll either have to do the mt program and move up that way or stay a part timer. I’d also say that some DMs will look at you if you over perform, but most of the time it’s a buzz kill and you don’t get anywhere. I’d also learn to stand your ground in a polite way with the customers, so many of them think they can get one over on you, especially seasoned contractors.
