hired under false pretenses PA

[sloreto]

What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

I was hired to be the manager of a store near my home. I was told on my hire date that I would have to fill in at another store until after inventory. I understood this even if it was a reduced pay from what we had originally discussed, as it was only for about 2 weeks. At the end of that 2 weeks I saw that I was still being scheduled in the other store and when I approached my district manager about it he replied that I was not going to the other store and that I should just continue working for the lower pay. I believe that there was no intention to make me manager at the other location and that they said those things just to get me in the door to help with inventory... is this legal.

There was an offer, an acceptance, and compensation... Just a lie at the end of it. That and it cost me a higher paying job somewhere else.

Nothing illegal here (assuming you have no WRITTEN contract or CBA)

The offer letter spells out what the employer anticipates will happen. It is not setting out a guarantee that nothing will ever change, and you do not want it to. If the offer letter were carved in stone, you could never receive a pay raise, or an increase in benefits.

I agree - nothing illegal here. I don't see from your post where the offer was in a written employment contract.
