Advice
Work at a store that has a lot of man power, and do your best to sale, because you receive compensation for sales.

What I wish was different
I wish the pay had been higher because of the knowledge I needed to know about every product was challenging and matching a product to a customer was hard as well.

I would share that this experience has allowed me to grow in time management and responsibility. Running a store alone required
Both of these skills a lot.

Sales Associate
May 2018 • Okemos, MI
What I liked
Helping people recognize how important what you consume is to your mental and physical help. Nutrition is so under-rated.
What I wish was different
Not much, everything that happened was a test to make it seem like I would lose in life but the opposite happened.
Advice
I would share that life has a tendency to test you and that if we rely on our eyes as a testimony for our future, we're sunk, the eyes will lie to you and the words you use shape your reality so stay positive even when things look bad.
