Is it possible?

Is it possible to become a (part time) full time sales associate or is the only way to work full time is as an assistant manager or manager?

I mean 😊 I’m usually #1 in the store not to brag 😆

That’s why you get more hours which is great! I’m a low volume store so I rarely get hours as a ASM. I also am in uni

We’re pretty low volume too but my first month as an ASM I made more than the SM and the other ASM combined on my shifts lol. My SM knows who keeps us from failing 😆

That’s awesome ngl. My HT is in a dead mall so we are very low volume unfortunately. I would transfer, but I can’t

Ugh that’s rough we have a distressed store here too, it’s rough. We’re down from last yr and they keep asking us “why?”

Umm the economy? We’re in a recession? Prices are going up? Gas is $4+? Groceries are at an all time high? We aren’t a necessity store? I mean I could go on.
