Textbooks and General Books sales associate

August 2019 • Tucson, AZ

What I liked

I loved how safe I felt during summer, we all took our preventions and we were able to go to work without any concerns. Summer went by really fast working here, we had many duties and we were still able to provide a service to the students.

What I wish was different

Because of safety and health purposes we had to close the bookstore almost all summer but we were able to help customer through a window. I wish we could open and help more customers, but, to be honest, I am also glad that they wanted us and the public to be healthy and safe.

Advice

Health is always first and your managers and supervisors will be there for you.

Great environment to work. I enjoy being able to work with others who are also students and are the same age range as I am.

Increase in staffing. I did not get to take much time off for my summer vacation because of the staffing issue, but it was nice being able to earn a pay check biweekly.
