There is over thousands of jobs in the United States that involve store retail. I've always wanted to work in a place where I would enjoy and like being there. Like many other teenagers I love shopping and sometimes shop more than needed. This is why I thought that working at Forever 21 was my best shot. Working in retail is something that not anybody can do, even though everyone thinks its the most easiest job ever, but I can assure they are wrong.
Working in a retail store , plus going to college can stress the hell out of you. You need to be consistent and balanced with everything you are doing because you are getting paid to clean the store and pick up after people's mess. The amount of people shopping and not picking up after themselves is INSANE, people shop and drop things on the ground and just say its our job to be babying them around the store when its not like that at all. You as a shopper need to have more respect when shopping and treat everything as if it was your own, you obviously do not want someone trashing your house and dropping everything on the ground, that just says a lot about people.
Working at Forever 21 can sometimes be one of the worst things because of the amount of shoppers you have and its hard to keep up with your go backs and cleaning the floor area you are assigned, this mostly happens on weekends. Managers expect the best and most of you and sometimes take advantage of you. As employees we cannot complain when they send us do things that sometimes we're not required to do because that's how retail works. And you would say you can probably get great discounts at the store but sadly you can only get 10% off of anything, and that's it nothing more than that.
Forever 21 is one of the million stores where retail workers are not given the enough pay for what they do and sometimes are exploited and ask to stay longer than what their shift says, and if you don't do as said you get a write up, certain amount of write ups get you fired. No one that I know of is happy with jobs like this, but when you're very limited you don't have much of a choice. The only good side about my job are the co workers, they will always make your shifts fun and not as boring as it seems, you all go through the same stress and same drained energy.
