Sales Associate

May 2020 • St. Cloud, MN

What I liked

I liked the hourly wage I got, the people, and that I got to work with paint.

What I wish was different

I wish the way I was trained in was different as I was confused a lot and didn't know how to ask certain questions. Additionally, within my first month I was working alone at times. I figured it out, but it was still scary.

Advice

You got this! Don't take people's words personally. There's a lot of customers who just need to take their frustrations out on an associate.

The people over there are very friendly and helpful. We always have barbecue and parties. The customers are very friendly as well. Sometimes they even brought food and drink for me to eat and drink. I can learn a lot from talking to them.

I hope we can experience more positions instead of sticking at one position. Sometimes when it is near closing, not many cashiers are needed. I think it would be better if we can go help out other departments.
