Internet Store Managers and Entrepreneurs

Work Environment

Internet entrepreneurs and store managers may work out of a home or private office. Some Internet store managers may be required to work on-site at a corporation or small business. In general, though, both entrepreneurs and store managers work indoors in comfortable settings. Some sales managers may be required to travel to meet with suppliers or other sales staff members.

The entrepreneur must deal with the stresses of starting a business, keeping it going, dealing with deadlines and customers, and coping with problems as they arise. They must also work long hours to develop and manage their business venture; many entrepreneurs work over 40 hours a week. Evening or weekend work may also be required, both for the entrepreneur and the store manager.

In addition, these professionals must spend time researching, reading, and checking out the competition in order to be informed about the latest technology and business trends. Their intensive computer work can result in eyestrain, hand and wrist injuries, and back pain.
