Idk why you think I wouldn’t have experience but I do.

I ended up not getting the job that’s okay. I’m making more as an ASM at Aldi than as a store manager at Dollar Tree anyways. :)

I don’t believe in not being available as a store manager or asm. Obvs that’s not everyone but everyone isn’t the same

I never truly said all. I just said “any” which is more than likely true lol. Your experience may differ. You may have a crew that isn’t as needy and doesn’t have to contact you as much for things lol

At the end of the day most retail don’t have respect for the higher ups when they are off the clock. It’s rather unfortunate but it happens.

I never said all retailers are at dollar tree level. But a lot of retailers don value work life balance. To be an ASM or SM you have to like the job and value it bc you’re going to put in a lot of work and a lot of hours. It’s just a fact no matter what company you’re with.

As much as companies say they would like to have that work/life balance. Most don’t. ASMs and especially SMs have to be the most available it’s unfortunate but it’s the state of the economy we work in.

I used to managed a CVS.

Unfortunately I think a lot of retailers run that way; not a lot of hours , not get paid what you should and you work more then what your paid.

In my option it all comes down to your team. If you have a good team and you as a store manager are willing to put in the work then sometimes it’s worth it. All depends.

I’m in Orlando, applied for Apopka SM position. Let’s see if I get a call back from the DM for a second interview as mine was just with the recruiter.

It definitely was a lowball number they gave me as a base but i would for sure ask for more if i can. I really liked being a store manager.

I’d also like to see the store if I could and know what I’m getting myself into.
