      Manager in training

      Store manager trainee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is a little higher than most companies. But don't worry they will make sure they get there money out of you.

      Cons

      Worst company to ever work for. Turnover rate is extremely high. In the year and half I worked there I seen 27 people quit including cashiers-managers-mts-and district managers. The company doesn't value associates . District managers are extremely childish and immature and don't know how to talk to people. They engage in gossip and extremely unprofessional.

      Deceptive hiring and a miserable job

      District manager trainee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      salary, company car, and a company phone (you're on call 24/7 when you're a DM)

      Cons

      This position is not for someone who wants to be able to enjoy their weekends or have a reasonable work life balance. You are told that the DMT/DM position is "50 hours a week" which is completely untrue and you will work anywhere from 60 - 70+ hours per week with start times as early as 5:00am and leaving as late as 2:00am for special buy. I was also told during the recruitment process that I would only have to work one weekend per month which was very deceptive due to the fact that during the DMT in-store training you're only allowed ONE weekend off per month. This is the case no matter what division you work for (O'Fallon, Denton, Olathe, Batavia, etc.). The in-store training phase is pure grunt work and very physical (unloading pallets - throwing truck, cashiering, dealing with rude customers, stocking the freezer) and essentially does not prepare you to be an actual District Manager. The job is very "hands on" and you are treated like a store associate until you make it to DM phase 1 which is about 6 months after you start.
