Overall positive as I'm overly impressed with the freedom I have in my role.The good thingsThe benefits package is excellent. What I love the most about my job is the absolute freedom I get. I get up in the morning and I go somewhere new everyday. I have complete control over my schedule on the premise that all my stores have been looked after. As its a head office role I'm constantly given information on new products, promotions & anything in general that's going on in the company.
The challengesEmployees that refuse to follow Policy & Procedure are not being dealt with. I find that when I have to raise a problem it usually has to be raised at a head office level instead of being dealt with immediately by the state manager. The VM manager understands but doesn't have enough power/authority if you will to be able to fix the problem straight away so help is quite limited. It's frustrating to have to always have to go all the way to the brand manager. Expenditure on housekeeping is minimal, which presents itself as a big concern to me.
