I really needed a job when USA Fireworks hired me to manage one their stores in Franklin. I heard the recruiter say $22,000 was the worst any store has done and 1 store made $120,000 last year. I guess I was the guinea pig this year-my store in Franklin (New this year, along with another new store 1/4 mile up the street-all USA stores). If I were told that they had 2 new stores in the same town, that my store had 1200 sq ft and NO air conditioning, I would have passed on this job.
After 40 days straight, 440 hrs and great customer service, my girlfriend and I made $813.00 on the entire job and I still had to pay for a street/sign guy that in their contract is a must or you will be terminated (cost us $100.00). The issue with no air conditioning cost me a lot repeat business and took my blood pressure to new problems (never knew until this job), it was 90 to 94 degrees many days inside this store. My total gross for the store was just over $14,000 and I was very honest, never took merchandise, never missed any meetings and made 1.82 an hr between my girlfriend and I—now I am ruin and I have to move in with family to survive PS Director of Operations-Scott Coyle never returns any calls
