Sales Associate
May - August 2019 • Chandler, AZ
What I liked
Great coworkers and management. They gave me a temporary full-time position for the summer because they knew I was in college and wanted to help me as much as possible
What I wish was different
I would often find myself alone in my department when we would really need at least two associates. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress, but it's manageable after a couple of months of experience.
Advice
Be expected to work hard and have customers from all walks of life and in very different moods. If you're good with customers and always giving good service, this job will be a great experience.

Operations Intern
May - August 2019 • Smyrna, GA
What I liked
I had exposure to the executive leadership team. I had visibility with the project that I worked on that will be implemented in stores soon. One of the best experiences out there. They paid for my housing and made sure that they help us network and learn where our interest were. My mentor Ali Jameson was the best thing to come out of the experience, honestly. Because of here I received a job offer.
