Employee discounts are such a blessing, especially when you're surrounded by cute clothes all day but you're still bawlin' on a budget. And even if you work in a store that may not have anything you want, check out what retail group owns the store and see if you have a discount at other shops they might own.

3. Getting to Socialize With So Many People

When working in retail, there is usually always someone to talk to. Socialization in the workplace can make time fly, and if you have cool coworkers, going to work can feel like going to hang out with friends.
