I was having a lot of success as a PA at my store, averaged 38-39 hours a week, made okay money...but it wasn't worth it. I was dealing with an understaffed team, the new market roll out, truck schedule changes, a remodel, a fresh ETL and an incompetent team lead.
I was basically the food team leader without the title or the pay. I did everything that my TL did (or didn't do) and more. The team saw me as their leader, I completely owned the process and the department. The way the team turned around, the way our process evolved and the department as a whole started to succeed didn't seem to matter to a certain ETL. After being snapped at and chewed out on the sales floor in front of my team I decided I'd had enough. I thought a lot about becoming a TL and if anything would change or if it would be worth it.
My two weeks was up last week. I just accepted a job offer from Disneyland and I couldn't be happier. It's less pay and part time to start, but at this point in my life I can handle that. There's tons of room for growth and development where I'm headed and in the meantime I'm considering going back to school to finish my degree.
