Sales Associate

June - August 2019 • Tulare, CA

What I liked

It was very straight forward and they offered a good employee discount.

What I wish was different

It was very repetitive and there was a lack of family feel among employees. Most didn't bother tolerant the seasonal associate's names. Also I was scheduled very few hours.

Advice

Don't work here if you want to have a lot of hours. However, if you're taking summer classes, it could probably work for you.

What I liked

I loved my team and how well we all worked together.

What I wish was different

I wish our job had more purpose and meaning.

Advice

Retail is a good high school student job, or just a little something to keep you busy, but when you're seeking a real job or occupation, you don't really gain that many new skills or gain much experience. It's all very simple and often frivolous work.
