Productive and Educational
Store Manager (Former Employee), Dalton, GA –
Pros: schedule, breaks, atmosphere
Cons: wages, advancements
This was my second retail management job, but it taught me many things. The typical work day started with opening everything in the store and taking the deposit. Then depending on the day there would either be shipment or visual moves and there was always customers. I also did the hiring and training of new employees.

Terrible management but great customers
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Fargo ND –
Pros: great customers
Cons: terrible management and pay
The Management was terrible. Only two managers which equals no time off. The pay was terrible for practically running a whole store by myself. The best part of the job were my customers.

A fun workplace where you are able to embrace individuality.
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Woodbridge, VA –
Pros: amazing employees, different style of clothing to choose from
Cons: not enough hours
Pacific Sunwear is a great place to work at if you enjoy working at a retail store where its hip, exciting and fashionable. The employees are normally nice and are mostly high schoolers who are willing to learn new things in the retail world. For example, if its their first job, they learn to approach customers and ensure customers are able to find – more...  what they are looking for. They learn how to sell to customers without being too pushy. If your looking for a job where you can be yourself and expand your knowledge in retail then this will be a perfect job for you. – less

Fun, Competitive Company
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Austin, TX –
Pros: meeting different people, fun work environment
Cons: retail scheduling
PacSun is a fun, California based young adult clothing retail company. They offer many opportunities for personal and professional betterment, and try to put you in the best position to succeed. It is retail, so you have to be prepared for upswings and downswings, a lot of bottom level employee turnover, and sweeping changes that are company wide. Offer – more...  a fun environment, and keep a good balance of personal and professional relationships. – less

I am currently employed as a sales associate by Pacific Sunwear and have been for about a year. It is a high energy environment with an emphasis on team building and motivation.

TCCC – March 24, 2012

I have been a professional photographer for over 10 years, photographing models, products, lifestyle, editorial, I know Photoshop, I'm very strong with photo editing and retouching. I have studio and location experience. I've worked within teams and on my own. I applied for the position of photographer, twice when it was advertised and was not even given a chance for an interview.
