Additional Information
Being a Store Manager for 10 years has conditioned me to be sales and numbers oriented. I love watching sales grow and it gives me the opportunity to feel accomplished with a team and with myself. I am dedicated, I get along well with others, I learn best by doing. I don't like feeling like I'm at a stand still or that my job has gotten stale but I also believe that that has a lot to do with your direct management team! It takes a great management team that care about themselves, their company and their subordinates to run a successful TEAM!
