Assistant Retail Managers operate as the right-hand of the Store Manager in a retail setting. They function as the Store Manager when the Manager isnt around and ensure employees still put forth their best work. Any brick-and-mortar store that sells products in a business-to-customer setting employs Assistant Retail Managers. The biggest employers are the fashion and food sales industries. Although their duties do involve some clerical tasks, Assistant Retail Managers do not work in your typical office environment, and their specific work environment depends on the industry. For example, those who work in the fashion industry work in stores within malls, while those who work in the food sales industry work at a supermarket. This job requires one to work nights and weekends.
