Sales Assosiate

June - August 2019 • San Mateo, CA

What I liked

I loved working hands on with people and starting a new experience in the retail/corporate world!

What I wish was different

I wish the management was different. The entire work environment was almost toxic and felt a lot like high school. Co-workers were petty towards one another and would even get in screaming arguments in the back break room.

Advice

Make sure you keep your head up and don't get discouraged by the fast-pace of the work environment. It can be exhausting but there's always another shift to prove yourself.
