May 2015 - Apr 2018
As an Assistant Manager at Wal-Mart I managed day to day operations of the store. I was directly responsible for 30 associates on three different shifts. On any given day I supervised 100 plus associates. My day was spent following up on associates to make sure they were following company issued policies and processes to ensure proper in-stock of merchandise to help drive sales. I followed up with associates by conducting performance evaluations including verbal and written coaching regarding disciplinary action. I made sure we got the best talent by Interviewing job candidates and hiring the best for the job. I was also responsible for ensuring my facility was in compliance with all federal and state specific laws and regulations. With my fellow Assistant Managers I helped manage day to day freight flow and helped strategically plan merchandise displays and merchandise sets for the different seasons. When customers have questions or concerns, I gave great customer service so they have a great shopping experience and want to come back in the future.

Oct 2011 - May 2015
After working for Hy-Vee for five years, I was promoted to Assistant Manager. As an Assistant Manager at Hy-Vee, I worked with a team of Assistant Managers to ensure proper in stock of merchandise, delegate tasks to employees, and provide a fast, clean, and safe shopping experience to customers. I would help out in the areas of the store that needed the most help and my job would change day to day based on what was going on. Most days I would be in charge of front end operations and ensure steady flow of customers through the check out lanes. On any given day I would be directly responsible for 10 to 15 employees. Other days I would be in charge of backroom operations, which involves backroom organization of merchandise, coordinating merchandise shipments and overall backroom cleanliness.
