Bad Upper Management Communication

Sales associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- You've grown to bond with your co-workers and regulars/customers if you work on a daily schedule - Depending on your store manager, scheduling can be flexible sometimes

Cons

- Poor communication with upper management - If you want more hours/money, you would have to work the hours folks don't want to work in - Overworked = Hardworking + More Hours/Money - NO BENEFITS

Great job, but wish there was more Full-Time possibilities

Shift lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Easy work for starting in retail - Great team members / Had very understanding managers - Trains you on delegating tasks to people / Cultivates soft skills in leadership

Cons

- If you aren't a manager or assistant manager, you won't get access to full-time hours (at least in my area, DFW, TX) - Usually random work hours, depending on your other co-workers' availability, but that kinda comes with retail. - You can probably expect to rise the ranks within the company if you work there 3+ years. I wouldn't say to have high hopes in promotion opportunities.
