MANAGER TRAINEE

AutoZone, Inc.
Oakbrook Terrace, IL, United States
Full-time

The Manager in Training (MIT) position is expected to be a short-term transitional role that provides both work assignments and training opportunities to prepare MITs to be promoted into Retail / Commercial Store Management positions.

From the date of entry into the AutoZone MIT program, it may be possible to progress to a management position within approximately 8-12 weeks, depending on the prior experience and performance of the MIT.

Responsibilities

An MIT is a member of the management team. As a member of management, an MIT will be expected to Live The Pledge, deliver WOW! Customer Service, and drive store execution and performance.

Under the supervision of the Store Manager, the MIT will maintain an engaged, productive store team through strong leadership, demonstrating initiative and leading by example.

The MIT is responsible for supporting the Store Manager in the overall operation of the store to include :

  • Overall store retail / commercial management, supervision, and policy implementation
  • Financial management - manage, analyze and reconcile monthly P&L statements
  • Employee staffing, training, and development
  • Inventory management
  • Customer service leadership

MITs are also responsible for completing operations and management skills training, and learning about key aspects of the business and AutoZone culture.

MITs must maintain satisfactory performance and must demonstrate consistent progression through the training program in order to remain in the pipeline role and be considered for management openings.

Note : Selection for the MIT position does not guarantee promotion into a Store Manager / Commercial Sales Manager position.

Whether and when an MIT is actually promoted to management is dependent on a variety of factors, including but not limited to performance and availability of management openings.
