Sales Associate

July 2018 - September 2019 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

I really like my coworkers and this job gave me more experience in customer service and what it's like to work on the lowest ranks for a corperate organization. I also have/had amazing bosses.

What I wish was different

I wish I was getting paid a higher wage, but it is technically above minimum wage in Ohio, which is roughly $8.50. I also wish there was more we could do about theft then just trying to prevent it

Advice

This goes for any job, especially customer/client based job, but always maintain respect, kindness, and patience in any situation.

What I liked

I had the best first job experience with Justice. This position was not an average job in retail but an opportunity to be a role model and positive light for the next generation of young women. Through the welcoming, optimistic environment, I was able to happily engage with both mom and girl to create a positive customer experience while also building the self esteem of girls between the age range of 7-12. Everyday, I was able to approach work with a positive attitude. I also had the ability to properly communicate and interact with fellow associates and customers. I acquired the skills of team building, problem solving, customer service, and effective communication. I would strongly recommend this job position to those new to the workforce or interested in pursuing a career in retail, management, fashion, and business.
