Store manger role is the most crucial role in reliance he has to responsible and accountable for each and everything happened at store. Being a corporate industry sales pressure and work pressure is quite common in everywhere. But especially in Reliance trends TST managers from the format level are treats you like a puppet. Simply said that they believe in Sarcastic Criticism, Using Abusive words in meetings if you not achieved the targets. At last just think twice before joining in Reliance trends TST’s,Don’t rush for the opportunity. If you are a self respectful person then that is not the right place to work.
