What is it like working as a Retail Sales Associate?
June 2015
Retail Sales Associate:
Pros: Helping customers find exactly what they need.

June 2015
I am injured every day and treated like a beast of burden.
Retail Sales Associate:
Pros: That I don't need to pay to be recertified and retested and I get paid for every hour I work.
Cons: Not respected and worry I'll be fired any minute since it is a at will employment. Being exposed to chemicals and toxins makes me worry about my health.
June 2015
Not horrible.
Retail Sales Associate:
Pros: Most of the Staff are good to work with and its not hard to learn. Its nice helping people and the thrill of the sale is always fun.
Cons: Out-dated equipment and procedures make it almost impossible to keep up with inventory (Death by paper cuts). As old as this company is it should have gone paperless years ago; yet, most everything is still hand written or needing to be verified manually in redundancy.
Lack luster monthly promotions, complicated rebates and no sales incentives leave one questioning the motives of Upper Management when product sales and quotas are demanded.
The single fact that for all the duties and functions that are expected to be done of this position, having done all of the Required Training (plus some additional courses), completed a "mandatory" ONE YEAR term as a trainee and still be on the same compensation level as an entry level courier is slightly insulting. One might venture to say its degrading as it is necessary to remind (beg) management for the promised amount of compensation for position one has been filing.
