As in salary?

I know the store managers get paid shite, but is it much better for the district managers? I'm sure it depends on the area of the country,urban vs rural, etc, but can anyone give a range. I make a very nice living in IT, but I'm getting sick of it now that I've moved into Healthcare and want to get back into retail.

I'm looking at management at this point, and figured I'd start at the DM level (I've got a crapload of retail managment experience). Plus, the PS3 and PSP need someone in control of these outlets that can give them the focus they deserve

Any store (or greater) employees know the salary range??

STARTING at DM? Good luck on that. DM at my company gets paid about 70% more than the average Store manager. Depends on a lot of things. There is a logistics manager at my store that gets paid 15g more than the SM, because they've been with the company for 15 years.

So just starting with the company, you won't get that much.
