Kontras
Sales associates are cut throat because they work off of commission. High-end clientele can be difficult. You are only as good as your numbers. A good day in sales makes you a super star. However, a bad day in sales make you a leper. When business is slow it can get very boring. You are forced to cold call people when you don't want to. Working nights, holidays and weekends can get frustrating, but that's what you sign up for when you work retail.
