That's followed by a period of intensive training, taking in everything from stacking shelves to making decisions on how the store is run. Then the challenges really kick in as you're given the keys to your own store, and get to grips with managing your team and a £multi-million business. By the end of your first year, you should be ready to take on a full Area Manager role, with all the responsibilities that entails, from motivating employees to encouraging excellent performance. Your ultimate aim? To achieve the highest possible sales while ensuring an efficient working environment, great customer service, minimal costs and maximum operational efficiency.
