Girlfriend I totally understand how you feel. I worked retail for almost 8 years, there were some good points, but were all ways out weighed by the bad points. I've worked for the big corporations like The Limited Brands, Gap Brands, LVMH Companies, and a few others inbetween. Yes, there was alot of monotony in keeping the store neat, fold and re-fold blah...The Pay scale isn't so great if you aren't earning commission, and it depends on the store when your "reviews" are. I've worked at places where they are either done quarterly, bi-annually, or just annually. Some managers were totally awesome, and some were managers that shouldn't of been managers and it didn't help that I have authority issues with people that are idiots. If you have a good manager it makes going to work so much easier, I was all ways bummed when the good ones left. Anyway, just think of your job as a "temporary" situation or as a stepping stone to your next move. I too am kicking myself for not finishing college, but am hoping to go back next fall. |
