Some have a very formulaic approach that tells you exactly what to order, how to schedule and so on while other companies merely have targets that you have to meet.
My point though was that you can start out managing a smaller store like a Liquor Depot and translate those skills into say a department manager job at a Walmart and from there you can apply to be a store manager at a Sport Mart. Moving up in responsibility and pay as you go.
It is definitely a career if you make it one.

Ahh gotcha, thought you were talking more inter-company growth. Definetely you can use management at one company to grow into a better position at a better company. Interestingly enough, Liqour Depot had a very formulaic approach, which I constantly ignored. Every month they predicted my store would lose money, and it consistently made money. Just goes to show you corporations think they know best, but when you're at store level only you as manager know your store the best.
