"I really enjoy being able to work independently and with a team to build sales and educate surgeons and hospital employees about the products I represent. It is a good feeling to know that I played a small role in helping a patient improve their life.I don't like how highly competitive the industry is, but it helps keep one motivated to be the best one can by keeping up with current and upcoming technologies, knowing your competitors' products, and the needs of your clients."

Sales Associate at PUMA
in Orlando, FL

What do you like about working at PUMA?

"Allotment is always nice. The additional discount on clothes and shoes is another perk. There are new stores opening up, but it seems like a supervisor position is never available."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"dont go dressed formally, the company is relaxed in atmosphere, be prepared for many Portuguese tourists.... and your managers expect a lot, even if you are the only one on register- you still must make 500$ in sales by yourself ALONE."

What don't you like about working at PUMA?

"the supervisors rarely do anything, and usually spend their time commanding and never make sales. i've personally spotted managers speaking on phones reserved for the business with no disciplinary action taken and finally the work is incredibly reppitive and gets old quickly"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Ensure promotions are given to people who deserve it, change the loyalty gathering process, and make sure all higher ups work in teh field so they can know what works in reality and what does not."

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Was fun for a while then it turned into a soap opera"

What do you like about working at Walmart?

"Made friends with a few people and it was always a fun time working with them. There was a period where we could always joke and have fun while working. I had a manager in my back pocket so I always had someone protecting me. No I wasn't an ass kisser the manager just liked me cause I'm a stand up person."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"work here only if you HAVE too, don't sell yourself short"

What don't you like about working at Walmart?

"Your start to see your co-workers true colors after a few months. It seemed like a never ending soap opera with the cashiers. Between all my co-workers there was ALWAYS talking behind each others backs. People will backstab you and step all over you to get ahead and look good. Managers rarely commented on my work performance. For a week I worked 16 hour days and sacrificed time in school but nothing good ever came about (no promotion, no thank yous, etc.)"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Grow the hell up and act like an authority figure."
