Supportive team and flexible schedules, but dealing with customers can be tough

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers and supervisors are awesome. Schedules are flexible, with many sick days allowed. Pay can be very good if you can sell well.

Cons

If you don't enjoy retail, dealing with customers is frustrating and mundane. 6 months minimum required to advance to the sales floor. Minimum wage if you don't manage to sell anything.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you liked the team, the flexibility, and the earning potential. Customer service in retail definitely has its challenging days, and a base-plus-commission structure means your pay directly reflects those sales. We also appreciate your feedback on the timeline for moving to the sales floor. Wish you the best in your next role! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
