During a visit before I left, our DTL made a point to point out that the uniform example in the store was wrong because of the khaki pants - khaki is preferred, but per policy, you are free to wear any color. Now, that's not to say people won't try and make you drink more kool-aid until you...

At 10-15 miles a night, good luck telling me not to wear sneakers!! Not to mention, shoes would last about 3 months!!

If you're going to be a hands-on LOG, go with function before fashion - I was a polo and khaki pants person and by the end of a truck day, you could tell that I was working - I wasn't concerned with buying nice pants or shirts - they were getting destroyed on a nightly basis...I was O/N, so not...

If you've gotten a call - run with it...be honest and upfront. Three years can be a long time and you could have grown up a lot over that time. I've seen an ETL quit for another job that didn't work out and came back after 6 months...honesty will be your friend!! With the turnover, who knows...

To get back on topic for the OP, it depends are you running from bad opportunity or running to a better opportunity. I didn't spend a long time @ Spot (1 year, ETL-LOG O/N), but Spot was a good bridge to get out of one job until a better one came a long. Either way, if you like retail - it's a...

That was my thought!!

Just out of curiosity...what exactly what were you expecting interviewing with a large retail company?? 50 hours is pretty much the norm in any job that pays decent for exempt employees...

Depending on what part of the world you're in - you can possibly get into the mid-70's...maybe even high 70's. Retail is retail - if you like it, it will probably be a better job with every other weekend off, cleaner environment (from an outsiders perspective as I've not spent time at WW)...

LOG's only have to work 18/6 - you're overachievement will take you places!!!

I was an ETL-LOG O/N - worked for about a year before I decided retail and overnight wasn't for me (or couldn't hack it, take your choice - lol)! Spot is a great company with a solid track record and strong outlook. @Rock Lobster is right, if you're good, you can sign your own paycheck and...

Spot will promise you the world! :)

The 10 years in Ops Management is worth something - I think in the application, it asks what your salary expectation is - what did you put? I had 12+ years of various management experience, not retail related and they offered me EXACTLY what I put on my application. I think the DTL asked me...

Welcome to the real world and the joys of salary!! Some people don't understand or appreciate work/life balance, but you'll find that anywhere - not just spot! Two weeks isn't a lot of time to be ready to cash in your chips - $58k and not happy is better than $0 and happy (IMO) and, depending...

I hate when OP's abandon their threads....I really wanted to see how this played out!!

Can you get into management @ Apple? If you like retail, you'll find better benefits and (typically) much happier people!!

I always smirk when I see the "before you sign your life away" link! So fun to read again!!

My STL/DTL always told me that the number of pieces didn't matter because the truck was always 53 feet - you mean that isn't true? LOL My STL - outside hire with 3 nights flow experience, never understood why a 3000 piece truck with 200 repacks couldn't get done when he was slashing my hours!!

Touch up your resume and start searching --- get them before they get you!

My comment was (kind of) tongue and cheek, but based on your comment - management might not be your calling in life. I realize there are personality issues, but to make a blanket statement that you don't trust them - there's bigger issues!

Ask your team members - they'll know!! The walls have ears....
