Retail sales associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Occasional sale item you can buy with employee discount.

Cons

Have to lift heavy furniture. A lot of multi-tasking. Janitor work because they do not have any cleaners who come in. Allways expect more and more responsibility from employee but no raises. Pay is only 13.4 an hour. Other competitors pay starts at $16. No bonuses or tips. They hire a lot of teenagers who cannot do most of the tasks and then more workload stacked on older employees. Corporate constantly play with your hours. Cutting hours if they have a slow day. The Store makes a ton of money, but they constantly cut hours. Wealthy customers who are rude and will butt in and expect you to cater to them even if you are already helping another customer. Certain managers who do not care if you go a break or not.
