Forever 21

Team Member

May - August 2019 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

I enjoyed being able to help customers and maintain everything well organized. I enjoyed my coworkers, they were always there if I needed any help personally or with work.

What I wish was different

I wish the pay and the responsibilities were different for being a team member. There is a lot of things you do that they should raise the pay at least a dollar or 50 cents. It would help a lot of the people who are working in the store, most of them are college students or adults who have a second job. The store I was working in had a broken AC unit and there were times I would arrive and the AC was working or it was still broken. During the hot summer we'd have to work in the store, the managers allowed us to take breaks throughout the shift but it was unacceptable that there was sometimes weeks where we would not have AC. The only thing they had when the AC was broken was big fans but the store is large and the fans would not circulate enough cold air. The managers wanted to close the store but the main manager of the store or of the several stores of F21 in Fairfax did not want to in order to gain more money. This was the worst part of it all. Forever 21 needs to clean up their act and treat their employees with respect.

Advice

One piece of advice I would like to share is that make sure we analyze the place you are applying for. Get all the information needed like, your pay, the environment in the store, responsibilities, and benefits. As a college student I took this job because it was the first summer job that accepted me and I needed money to pay for my summer classes at college. Know your self worth and when it is time to quite or make a stand.

What I liked

I like seeing the customers buy those remarkable clothes that they love to wear for various events, such as festivals and back-to-school.

What I wish was different

Make better communications with the customers, learn how to use the cash register properly, and clean up around the entire store before the next day.

Advice

If any customer needs help with the colors and the models of each clothing, I would pick one for him/her.
