Dissatisfied Former Store Manager - Store Manager Vilebrequin Employee Review

Was hired for a new location without being informed that it was a "pop up" location. I left a company where I had good job security and environment to take this role. I was fortunate that there was movement and a new role was created to a larger volume door. The manager I replaced was also promoted. That manager received an increase for his new role as I did not. No development, opportunity for growth or feedback from upper management. Inconsistency with pay rates among employees. Found that the female employees that were given offers or working in my stores were offered less than male candidate offers at my locations. When I mentioned this to my DM, I was told it was due to the experience each had. I found this to be not true as the female employee at my first location had just as much experience as my male employee. When filling a similar role at my second location my newest male hires with less retail background were still offered more than female staff members despite not having an extensive sales background in retail. All offers were issued by HR.
