Yeah, asst managers lived a brutal life walking back and forth through the stores on walkie talkies all day long. I have a feeling its a lot of peoples first salaried jobs, they move up from front line to asst mgr so willing to take more abuse to not make $15/hr anymore. I was there at many points. I did that leaving HD, 12.50 to 40k in ops.
I can picture the faces of all of my managers, ASMs. I can't picture the face of either of my store managers. I'm not sure I actually ever saw them. They definitely weren't in the store often.
I loved my first store and HATED my second store. If you're full-time at HD you have no control of your hours at all. They'd schedule me to close 11pm-12am then open at 5am the next day at the second store. I just quit one day. I constantly got sick from getting no sleep.
If you're part-time there you have 100% control of your hours. Tons of people in college who worked 2-4 hours a day. It was miserable watching them come and go.
