MANAGER TRAINEE

The Manager in Training (MIT) position is expected to be a short-term transitional role that provides both work assignments and training opportunities to prepare MI Ts to be promoted into Retail / Commercial Store Management positions. From the date of entry into the Auto Zone MIT program, it may be possible to progress to a management position within approximately 8-12 weeks, depending on the prior experience and performance of the MIT.

An MIT is a member of the management team. As a member of management, an MIT will be expected to Live The Pledge , deliver WOW! Customer Service , and drive store execution and performance. Under the supervision of the Store Manager , the MIT will maintain an engaged, productive store team through strong leadership, demonstrating initiative and leading by example.

The MIT is responsible for supporting the Store Manager in the overall operation of the store to include:

MI Ts are also responsible for completing operations and management skills training, and learning about key aspects of the business and Auto Zone culture. MI Ts must maintain satisfactory performance and must demonstrate consistent progression through the training program in order to remain in the pipeline role and be considered for management openings.

Note : Selection for the MIT position does not guarantee promotion into a Store Manager / Commercial Sales Manager position. Whether and when an MIT is actually promoted to management is dependent on a variety of factors, including but not limited to performance and availability of management openings.
