- Sales associates may earn different salaries depending on their city and state. See what other sales associates in your area are making and the typical pay at big-name companies.
- Salaries can differ based on experience level, too. Explore what each seniority level tends to earn and track your own sales associate career trajectory to see how your pay can change over time.
- Job applicants can be more desirable to companies when they showcase their in-demand skills. Be sure to list any relevant abilities you may have, such as retail experience and strong communication skills.
