Sales and Customer Service

Written by Retail Sales Associate (Current Employee) at - Las Vegas, NV February 14, 2015 I open the registers and ensure the merchandise is displayed perfectly.

I help the customers make the decision of what products they need. I continually learn about our products to help our customers make better decisions.

Sometimes I have to close my department at store closing. I have a great management team that helps me learn company policies and product knowledge.

My co-workers and I work as a team to better help our customers. I feel the hardest part of this job is you can't please all the customers all the time.

I can't let that bother my performance. I really enjoy finding the right product for my customer's loved ones.
