Pros
I absolutely loved this job. Not only was I working as a sales associate but I was also the stores social influencer and I learned so much. I was responsible for managing one of my personal Instagram pages where I promoted products and cultivated a community of customer that shopped in our store or that I because friends with via social media. This extra responsibility allowed me to really connect and become real life friends with some of my customers. They did trainings monthly with Instagram, TikTok, or just discussing various topics regarding content creation and strategy. I learned so much here that I will take with me in the future. They also have a great training program that walks you though every aspect of the brand and they are constantly adding new lessons so tenured employees are also receiving continued communication.
We also received bonuses based on making our goal for the month as a store and bonuses were based on position and hours worked during the month. We also had many opportunities to earn “coach bucks” which is basically like a gift card for product, and we got a 50% discount all the time and 65% 4x a year (once a quarter) for employee appreciation.
My bosses were amazing, always understanding and willing to work with me around my school schedule. Everyone I met through coach was so kind. I truly enjoyed my time there, I only left because I had to move.
I also met the CEO Todd a handful of times, he is a super nice guy and really listened to us.
Cons
No real opportunity for a raise of any substance. I received a 3% raise after a year and a half upon yearly review.
