Strictly Running

Sales Associate

May 2019 • Columbia, SC

What I liked

I really like my manager and working with customers, especially younger high school cross country runners because they are often the most receptive to my suggestions when I try to help them. I also like having a pretty wide variety of roles - I did sales, marketing, inventory management, and a few other things when they were necessary.

What I wish was different

The pay could be higher. Ten dollars an hour used to be really good, but it just isn't competitive anymore. It's well above minimum wage, but there aren't very many minimum wage jobs left in Columbia. I could definitely get paid more elsewhere if I wanted to.

Advice

Do something you have fun doing. Money isn't everything. I like my job.
