Sales Associate

May - August 2019 • Chandler, AZ

What I liked

Great coworkers and management. They gave me a temporary full-time position for the summer because they knew I was in college and wanted to help me as much as possible

What I wish was different

I would often find myself alone in my department when we would really need at least two associates. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress, but it's manageable after a couple of months of experience.

Advice

Be expected to work hard and have customers from all walks of life and in very different moods. If you're good with customers and always giving good service, this job will be a great experience.
