Job: Retail Store Manager (United States)

Before negotiating an intercompany transfer, feel out peers of the new location for any drastic differences in how they do business. For instance, California Retailers are presently under extreme pressures to prove "Salary Test Qualifications". This carries excessive importance placed on employee breaks, lunches, clock times, payroll, etc. in order for Managers to qualify for their pay status. It affects the ability of a California retail managers to make sales quotas similar to their out of state counterparts, as they spend about 15% of their focus on giving California mandated breaks at specified times. Managers are not allowed to complete projects outside of California mandated hours, and find it difficult to acquire bonuses as a result, comparatively speaking, with other states identical positions.
