I’ve worked a retail job for 2 years now and it’s looking like I’ll be stuck here another year minimum until I’m able to start looking for internships. How about you era? Were you able to escape retail or are you still stuck in its clutches?
Hey that’s still a step up!Yes.
And now work for the corporative office of the same retail :(
Yeah the pay is definitely is not great.I was lucky enough to go from retail to starbucks to the wonderful world of IT within the span of 2 years. I'm extremely thankful and do not wish on anyone to work retail unless the pay is nutty (it never is).
Actually I left out to work at this store (working as cashier) after a year and half to look for a intership... only to land here; I got a proper position a year later. It's right, it's a step up but it's funny :) In november will be my fourth year here, but it have been difficult to grow, but lately I have been looking for more opportunities and hope can get what I want soon.
I think 6 months it's enough imho, but it should include holiday days :)Ended up as a supervisor at a grocery store, it should be a requirement to work retail for a few years to learn how not to be an asshole to store employees.
It should be as annoying as possible, maybe something like 12-8:30, shifts tuesday and thursday, and then on friday, saturday and sunday your shifts are 2-10:30. You work every holiday and don't get paid OT.I think 6 months it's enough imho, but it should include holiday days :)
