I go to school in Boston, and I did look into transferring but the BBW at the Pru was closing and that commute is a lot with a full workload.
Honestly, I don't think any sales associate position prepares you for any one position. When you're a sales associate you deal with a lot of different things so not only did my time at BBW prepare to continue any retail work I may pursue but it taught a lot about myself and how to handle things under pressure as well learning to treat people with respect no matter how they treat you in return.
I was not. It's hard to advance when you're an 18 year old seasonal worker who also goes to school in Boston. There's not a lot of wiggle room.

I think it was great. Again, BBW was a big family. If you messed up someone was there to help you get it together. I made myself available to my manager as much as I could and I think it was just an all around good relationship.
Every store has its quirks and things you just have to roll with, but I don't think there was anything we had to improve on. We tried to hit all the bases with the customers and we tried to stock and clean as fast as possible while giving the customers ample attention; but I don't think there's much more to ask for.

Greeting everyone that walks in and making sure everyone is being helped and also cashier and organizing the sales floor.
My Managers and Co workers were great and helped me learn more about the products in the store and how to deal with customers.
I was just a seasonal employee.
Replenish/restock the counters, greet incoming customers and make every customer feel welcome.
Since bath and body works is sister stores with Victoria's secret, I believe that It would be easier to sale to customers.
I left because I never got scheduled hours because we had to split 30 hours with 20 people
I was the Cashier lead. My duties included counting money, answering questions, helping ring customers, communicating with my manager to divvy out breaks.
It taught me to be more patient, how to manage my time
We communicated very well, and had a pretty strong relationship.
I started using binders for a lot of things. Like marketing, review folders
Yes, I was, but then it was taken away from me and given to someone who had a better availability.
It was just a seasonal job over Christmas.
Customer service and stocking products. Assisted the cashiers.
I gained some retail and customer service experience, as well as learned to do cash. The store was very busy all the time and needed to continue to help out customers and show them where the products were. I also had to make sure shelves were stocked.
I got along good with the managers and other employees.
None really, just made sure products were stocked on the shelves and the store looked neat.
No, I wasn't
I enjoyed working their but I had to move away for college.
I was mostly in charge of register, which taught me taught how to work in a fast pace environment because of the holiday season. I was also in charge of the sales floor, where I would help customers find exactly what they needed.
It has prepared me buy being able to handle fast pace environments.
We got along very well. We all become a little family.
Personal reasons
I was a sales associate so working on under stock and making sure the shelves were full. servicing customers to find out their needs, cashier,
They were really big on customer service. that was our main goal was to make sure the customer was satisfied
They loved me. I really wanted to grow as much as i could
Do our best to make strong customer connections to make sure our sales goals thrived
Personal reasons
I was not getting an adequate amount of hours, and I needed a change of management.
I was a sales associate. I worked the cash register, made sales, and also helped out with stock, box-up, and set-up.
This is much more different than retail, but the customer service experience I gained will help me interact with customers in this position.
The first manager, the one that hired me, was amazing, We got along really well, she listened to her staffs needs, wants, and suggestions. My second manager was OK, it was just hard to communicate with her time to time, especially when it came to suggestions or our hours. But regardless, I always tried to be nice.
I made image improvements at the impulse section of our store, that was really eye-catching to our customers. I always tried to make suggestions when it came to set-up in the store to make things run more smoothly.
No I was not, I could only manage being a part-time sales associate due to school.
