store manager

When I started, I was promised education opportunities, growth opportunities, yearly reviews and reliable management. Past the 1 WSET course I was able to take toward the beginning of my employment, the rest of the classes are unavailable. Myself as well as coworkers have not received raises on a yearly basis or at all; coworkers who had been there for 2-3 years longer than me were making the same if not less than I (being a closer). My taxes were messed up, only 10% was taken out for federal and state combined even though I would never have filed it that way. Advancing within the company is extremely selective; I asked to start the assistant manager training program and was told I was not experienced enough until I was finally ready to quit; however, the whole company was made aware when the CEO's son who had just graduated college was given a pretty lucrative corporate position. Not even the employee discount is good; 10% on any items not already on sale but almost everything is already on sale. Overall, this company doesn't care about its store-level employees and has done next to nothing to encourage loyalty and commitment. 

Like i said, great at first then went downhill. It was always something going wrong. If it wasn't customers being rude to you and management doing nothing, it was corporate or even lower as in management in your own store. I tried to stick it through because i enjoyed it at first and i was hoping that joy returned but then you find out people who you are supposed to be friends with and who you've ALWAYS been nice to turn out to be awful people. There is always some drama going on in corporate. It's like they've never run a business before. The $15 is absolutely nothing also. You'll work full time hours but not be counted full time and you can never slide up to 40 hours a week even though you are the only one who is able to work during the days. Then just randomly they'll drop your hours down from almost 40 to 20. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy.  

This was a fun job, I loved being an assistant manager and the environment was awesome. What I didn’t like was how poorly upper management and corporate was ran. I was pushed to sell store product but never saw any incentive for that. I was pushed to meet sales goals but there was always issues getting basic product in the store because of the inventory system. I constantly had ideas to increase sales and pointed out things that were losing us sales but nobody cared. Oh and forget about upward mobility. I was promised a store manager training class that magically disappeared a few weeks before it was supposed to start. This is a great job if you’re looking for easy chill environment. If you’re looking to grow in a company I’d look elsewhere because they don’t value anybody or care. 

Work life balance sucks. There are so many people working in the corporate office and that seems to be where all of the money is being spent. It is definitely not going to the people working in the stores, risking their safety on a daily basis. I have over ten years of industry experience and am being paid almost $10 less an hour than at my previous job. The daily reports that you print out at night show the profit that is made on the products sold. Pretty depressing to see that regularly.

Assistant managers must work 45 hours a week.

Managers must work 47.5 hours a week.

Also poor discount.

Customer service responsibilities are the main part of the job, easy to learn job details, they offer advancement for employees and train all employees on new and previous existing regulations that effect the company such as proper customer carding procedures and what to look out for with underage customer purchase attempts and police stings. Overall the owners are doing a great job with the stores and keeping the customer experience a top priority.

I really liked everyone I worked with and the regulars at my location. I felt like there was a good balance of work and some learning but only depending on your colleagues. They do a great job of having an educated wine staff and did fun events for the customers. Until you're in a management position the pay is a joke. I know it's a pretty basic job but there are other places to work, unless you want to try to get into a management or somm position. 

Overall a decent place to work, but for the wages and all the random things you are expected to know and do it's not worth it unless the industry is a passion of yours. 

All great things! Locally owned, growing chain. Definitely worth a look. In my, less than a year working for the company, there are so many cool benefits. All employees can take part in 200% tuition reimbursement for wine/spirits/beer certifications! Wow! Competitive wages and great culture. 

This is a pretty typical cashiering job. You can take on more responsibility around the store if you want, but your pay won’t reflect it. Management is kind and the scheduling is flexible enough if you don’t mind sitting weekends and nights.

Working in a corporate liquor store is different then a smaller individual store. There is a lot of communication between the different locations and coordination between the needs of the local store and the company.
