Sales Associate
April 2018 • Williston, VT
What I liked
I enjoy the flexible hours that are compatible with my college schedule. I have also become knowledgable in my department and feel that I contribute to offering good service and offer something of value at my workplace.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to scale back my hours and also spend some of my summer in a field/position more closely related to my area of study. While it is an enjoyable part-time job, for someone not seeking to continue my career in retail, it doesn't offer much in terms of work related experience for the future.
Advice
I would highly recommend that young students experience working retail. It develops substantial interpersonal skills, customer service experience, and is eyeopening to those who have not had to learn how to handle difficult customers/clients as well as daily problem solving.

Customer Service Specialist
May 2019 • Portage, MI
What I liked
I love that the work schedule is flexible for students taking college courses because I can create my own availability with the different courses I have each semester. I like that I have learned a lot in such a short time, and that there are so many different kinds of opportunities to learn and grow in customer situations. I have also created so many networking opportunities for future jobs.
What I wish was different
I found that it was sometimes hard to communicate with the management team. I wish the managers were able to have more time to work closer to the sales associates on the floor of the store during the workday. Especially when negative customer interactions arise, it is easier to handle and continue on throughout the day when you know there will always be a manager who is experienced and able to step in and dissolve negative situations with upset customers. I wish it was easier to cross-train in the different departments of the store.
Advice
You will learn new things no matter how the experience is. If the opportunity is not as great as you thought it was going to be, try to take away the aspects you're really searching for in a future job, and if the experience is better than anticipated, then you will be able to grow within the position and learn how to do more things that you can add to your resume and skills.

It was a good experience to learn to work with others, be a leader of a department, and work my way up to a higher position in a corporation.
