Decent job but not for me

Cashier (csr)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Base pay was pretty good -The work environment wasn't too bad -The store itself is great

Cons

-The emphasis on selling plans & getting customer capture wasn't talked about much at all in my interview, and I ended up struggling a lot with it. If I knew it was that important in this role beforehand, I probably wouldn't have taken this job offer. Managers often pulled me aside to talk due to my struggle to sell the service plans. If you apply here, make sure you're aware of this. Some may be great at this, but it just wasn't my thing. -Hours were kinda ridiculous sometimes -It's retail, so there's gonna be a few rude customers you just want out the door ASAP

some good some bad

Commisioned sales associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay when customers are buying can be sometimes flexible with working hours

Cons

management can be pushy about hitting metrics and are obsessed with hitting not very realistic numbers a lot of the time. Gets mad when the metrics aren't hit. Scope creep is real and you will have to balance working on secondary task during selling hours.
