Assistant Managers and Store Managers work 50 to 65 hours per week so don't plan on spending much more than an hour or so with your kids before bedtime. Paycheck doesn't change much at all whether you have a week of easy 10 hour days or a grueling week of 12+ hour days. Sunday is always one of your 2 days off due to all stores being closed. This isn't bad in itself except rarely will your other day off coincide with Sunday unless expressly requested in advance and as long as no one who has more seniority than you wants that Saturday or Monday off. I think most people would agree that whether you work 40 hours or 60 hours a week, two consecutive days off is the best stress relief otherwise you just never seem to be able to unwind and recharge your batteries. Also unless you are 18 to 20 years old and/or in incredibly good shape rest assured Discount Tire will affect you physically. You are constantly bending, squatting, twisting, lifting, standing for hours on end, kneeling, climbing tire racks, scaling flights of stairs all while enduring the harshest of weather extremes and damaging your hearing slowly over many years of impact guns and air tools being used with no hearing protection in place. Don't forget all the wonderful dust and other airborne contaminants that you breathe in every day as hubs and mounting surfaces are buffed and blown off. Also you will want to keep in mind that you will most likely work in a store where there is at least one, if not several coworkers with whom you are forced to work with every day who make you want to quit. Have fun dealing with the frustration that these people will usually be held in the highest regard among regional staff and will probably be promoted before you due to their uncanny ability of making the store run by strong arming everyone who gets in their way or speaks out.
