Brand Associate

May - August 2019 • Fargo, ND

What I liked

I liked working with apparel and accessories and using my own creativity in assembling displays and bringing a good energy to the stores atmosphere.

What I wish was different

I wish the register training had been more thoroughly explained. I felt like I could have used far more information in my training for the register and did not feel prepare.

Advice

My best piece of advice would be to give it a try and see how you enjoy working in the retail world. When you are surrounded by enjoyable people who enjoy their job as well, it is really fun. I personally very much so enjoyed the atmosphere of Old Navy. It felt very judgement free.
