While in this position, I performed every aspect of store management including:- Merchandising -Inventory management - Hiring, training, scheduling, coaching, terminations and performance reviews - Cash Management and daily deposit verification -Customer complaint resolution - Loss Prevention a store security -Food safety -Facility Maintenance Despite gaining new experiences and fostering the success of a diverse pool of team members, I found this to be one of the most poorly managed corporate entities that I have been associated with.
