Slightly higher than average pay to compensate never ending nonsense

Shift manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Slightly higher pay than other jobs like it. Good benefits.

Cons

Inconsistent schedule - could work until 10 or 11 4 days in one week or have to work until 10 or 11 then be back at 6am multiple days in a row. Awful work/life balance - Many employees work EVERY Saturday and Sunday unless they speak up, which some are intimidated to do. Favoritism runs rampant. Unrealistic expectations in regards to how much can get done in a certain amount of time. Constant complaints and demands from management about getting more done but refuse to hire more employees. Continually added more steps to every process while keeping time expectations the same. Terrible employees NEVER get fired and others have to pick up the slack. Warehouse is a complete mess - trucks arrive late without any warning, pallets are missing, drivers have no regard for pallets and making sure product is not damaged.

District Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay & benefits, flexibility in scheduling, excellent leadership development and a chance to make an impact on a large organization. Overall, not many companies can compete with the level of early career responsibility the District Manager position offers.

Cons

Demanding position that is not for everyone. The first year of training is not glamorous and requires a high-level commitment from day 1. This can be challenging for many new college graduates.
