Retail Salesperson

February - August 2018 • Raleigh, NC

What I liked

I loved the atmosphere that my coworkers and I created. It was a very fun and welcoming environment to work in.

What I wish was different

I wish that the job wasn't so based on sales/numbers. We did our best, but the pressure of reaching a sales goal by the end of the night and end of each week made a lot of days very stress filled.

Advice

I would say to try not to take everything so personally. All you can do in any job that you have is the best job that you can do. Not reaching one sales goal shouldn't ruin your home life. Try to leave work at work and enjoy yourself at home!

Sales Floor Associate

June - August 2018 • Carson, CA

What I liked

During my time there I really enjoyed getting to know how to sell. It was something that I had never done before. Through BBW, I was able to engage with customers on an ongoing basis. I loved the fun environment, and getting to know all the products and people.

What I wish was different

I had a great experience, but a little more training should've been required. Although I felt ready to go on sales floor, I still felt that I should've spent more time getting to know the company better so I could be the best sales person I could be.

Advice

Have fun. Working there is not like any retail job, so it can be very overwhelming at times, but you definitely learn something new each day.

Assoociate

September 2017 • San Antonio, TX

What I liked

I like being able to interact with people. Being challenged to make a customer talk and buy something from me. It made me proud to see my sales per hour was higher than most of my coworkers.I also enjoyed meeting new people and finding out a little about them.

What I wish was different

All the call ins they do. I feel bad when they call to see if I can come in, and I already have other plans.

Advice

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! There are so many different ways to approach a customer, and so many ways to get different things done. It’s always nice to hear how one of my coworkers does things and I can improve on my own skills.
