Assistant Store Manager
May - September 2018 • Limerick, PA
What I liked
Working closely with people my age and helping them develop their skills on many fronts. Helping customers and resolving issues quickly and efficiently.
What I wish was different
The upper management was shaky in the company which put a lot of pressure on me. This resulted in lack of training for me while I was left to do nearly everything by myself.
Advice
Do not intern here unless you plan to stay in retail because there is a lot of opportunity to move up in the company, but they don't want you doing anything else.

What I liked
I loved the long hours because I wanted to do a lot this summer and needed money to do it.
What I wish was different
I wish that my work was a little closer to me and didn't have a bunch of traffic for most of the day.

Definitely be frank and honest about the hours you actually want to work. Though you may really want the job, if you aren't working hours that work best for you, your going to regret it.

Sales Associate
May 2018 • Mays Landing, NJ
What I liked
I liked how there was always something to do, and everyone I worked with helped me when I didn't know how to do something or was struggling with go-backs in the fitting room.
What I wish was different
Generally customers don't read signs saying something is closed so I wish we had a glowing neon sign so that I wouldn't have to say that the upstairs fitting room is closed for the 5th time within the hour.
Advice
This gave me a lot of patience and developed my multi-tasking and teamwork skills. Anyone who is shy around people should try to work a job like this because you have to talk to people to get your job done.
