Hello, currently doing a Skillbridge at a big box chain for an assistant manager position. I’m halfway through my 60 days, and….. it’s been rough. I don’t and can’t get any access to the manager systems, so 90 percent of my day is spent walking around doing customer service stuff. Which isn’t bad, but assuming I get hired on at the end of this I won’t really know the manager side of the job. I get referred to as “free labor” a bunch, which again, I have thick skin but it’s clear they don’t know how to train me for the job.
My hang up is the job is pretty much guaranteed, but I won’t be staying at this location (which i picked because it was close to my house). The pay is going to be pretty good, etc. but the disorganization here and lack of training is crazy.
P.s. my first experience with a civilian job in 20 plus years but, this place makes me realize how much stuff we get right in the military when it comes to coaching and developing.
