Pretty good pay for being in retail, most of the people were really fun
What I wish was different
That people who used racist slurs during work hours in front of customers would not still hold a management (or any) position.
Advice
Stick up for yourself, if you don't have a good feeling there's a better opportunity out there for you.

Sales Associate
June 2018 • Lake Oswego, OR
What I liked
I liked working in an upbeat and fun environment, the other associates treat you like family and the clientele are very nice, you can talk to them and have conversations, and many times you will recognize many of them returning from week to week.
What I wish was different
I wish that the schedule and time off was a little easier to work around because there were many times that I had something planned and couldn't or didn't happen to get that day off and so I had to work through the even I had planned.
