They are responsible for asset protection and implementing progressive strategies for company processes. They develop and improve company policies to ensure a productive and safe working environment. General managers also ensure the location meets all local and federal requirements and codes.

Though some companies may have different needs, most general managers work within normal business operating hours. (Copyright 2019 PayScale.com)
