2,908 Sales Associate Reviews

"It is a hard job to do, because you are sitting in a cubicle for nine hours a days and constantly on the phones. Dealing with people is the fun part, but it is a strenuous job if you are not conditioned to sitting still for long periods of time."

"What I loved most about being a sales associate, is that I got the opportunity to meet and interact with people from different countries entering the U.S. I enjoyed our conversations and laughter. I enjoyed making them feel confident in their skin. What I hated about being an associate is that we don't get enough credit on our work. We're looked down on from the management and I didn't like that at all."

"I love the fact that I can work and set my own hours."

"I wouldn't love anything since it's just very hard to have a steady pay."

"Being a Sales Associate has made me more patient, a team player, and a quicker thinker. The only downside is that there are slightly strict guidelines to the position that make me feel that my artistic skills and input are not utilized as much as I would like them to be. So I would love the chance to have a job where I can combine my artistic know-how with my experience in the sales world."

"I liked working on the sales floor. It was amazing but, the management is horrible and they're always breathing down your neck to get sales."

"I love meeting new people every day and I love helping people."

"I like working with people, but some of them expect too much from me. I'm a sales associate, not the CEO."

"Hate the poor support that the sales managers provide. Hate the company clock in policy 1 second past the time and you are considered late. Hate the corporate greed, to use us as free labor. Hate the corporate culture that lies, cheats and crushes sales peoples' dreams. Hate the Kool-aid drinkers that have no backbone to stand up and help the associates."

"I do not like having responsibility for which I'm not getting compensated for. For example, on top of selling like usual I am in charge of keeping the store clean. Do inventory counts daily and responsible for handle customer issues within any location I visit or recieve a call from. The job description sounds a little bit like a District Management position without any extra pay except what I earn in comission on selling services"

"I find helping customers to be a very rewarding experience. Furthermore, I enjoy being around fashion and other like-minded employees. However, my true passion lies with art and video games, therefore upon completing school, it was time to look for a career in my chosen field of study."

"Management takes the fun out of the job as they DON'T TEACH; they belittle, make remarks, & have an attitude/behavior of I don't care about you as a person- just follow the drill to get the results we want. IF management would STOP gossiping & treat staff w/respect; they would get the #'s & results they want AND have a happy & productive TEAM for their good efforts. Ego-centric, UN-trained, & condescending Managers have been promoted to their level of incompetence. Shame on them, sad 4 staff."

"I love the interactions between myself and the clients that I assist, it is very rewarding. But I am not happy with the amount of money that I receive, or the lack of growth that the job offers."

"I absolutely love working with marketing, it is a division of work that has traveled with me since college. I have been able to develop strong relationships and connections within the community surrounding each job I take on. Marketing also has allowed me great opportunities to work with numerous conferences and educational programs teaching small businesses and freelancers the ins and outs to Marketing and Outreach. As for Fine Art Sales, it is a job that has its ups and downs."

"I love helping associates. I am a people person, but also love that I have the ability to work independently."
