why does this reply remind me of 10th grade math class?

BongMan · #31 (**permalink**) Aug 17, 06

I have no clue what happened in 10th grade math

Nat you have barly been at the Guess store... I dont think it's fair to claim the job is horrible already. I always hate the first few weeks/moth of a new job. you just not use to it.

However if AE has realized what a great worker you are... then maybe this is your chance to get ahead ;)

Overall go with your gut feeling. I think I made that mistake this summer while picking jobs. I was greedy and took a chance... bad chance :(

^ it's not so much that I don't "like" it, it's that I don't BELIEVE in it. I'm not passionate about the brand, whereas I live and love the AE brand.

We'll see in the morning!

Sound like a really tough spot to be in Natty. How are the Guess people, do you feel you can workly closely with them in trust?
I'd consider going back if your heart is still THERE (AE) i'd hate to see you unhappy over money, your well-being is ALWAYS more important.

Please CALL ME if you need to weight out pros and cons you know i'm here.
But as Nev said best, you always make the right decissions.

<3

galaxie · #40 (**permalink**) Aug 18, 06

^ Indeed I did.

Lunch breaks for sheezy.
I wonder if the food court at Brentwood is any good...?

Always go with what makes you happy, as most people have said in this thread. You gotta weigh what it worth more and what will keep you sane in the long run. You might be able to keep this up for a while, but sooner or later it's going to catch you and bite you in the ass. Good luck hun!

Not really. I used to work there and I got sick of it very quickly. Pretty much ate Quizno's all the time.

I totally disagree. Not saying that I'm committing myself to it for life, but there are plenty of excellent career opportunities in the field. I love my current job in retail management. Sure it's busy and a bit stressful at times and customers can be jerks, but it really suits my personality and I'm making better money than I ever have. I'd go mental from boredom if I had to sit behind a desk or something. And it's a great gateway into better positions, too.

'selling themselves short?' To be good at this takes a special kind of skill.

Does that store make any money?

I hardly ever see customers in it, and for that reason avoid it. (Despite the fact that I walk by it nearly every work day...)

tiedye · #46 (**permalink**) Aug 25, 06

I'm pretty good at making tough decisions.. even really tough decisions... but REALLY tough decisions?? you're on your own, lady.

Actually, yeah.
Early mornings are slow, but the rest of the day is pretty steady.
I do more volume there than I did at Off the Wall in Richmond Centre.
