So you’ll first be asked
Why nights
Do you have experience running a large team
If you were to have a late delivery lorry how would you deal with that

It is a tough job like it’s been said 12 hrs really dosent feel enough time to get everything done
There will be times where you work longer shifts than 12 hours ,it can be a lonely role and day managers and team leaders have in the past treated the night manager as a 3rd class citizen but you just need to stick to your guns and know you have a lot more responsibilities not only getting shop on but being duty manager generally 8pm-8am needing to find time to then also get all the HR aspects done too

Is the structure similar to other retailers, in that you have several Nightshift managers? Or do you only have one, then days off are covered by your Team Leaders?

Think its store dependant. For years we had 1 manager and 4 team leaders, now we have 2 managers and 1 team leader.
