Great first job with plenty of learning opportunities - Retail Sales Associate launch180 Employee Review

I actually enjoyed my time here more than I expected to. The people in the office were cool and the atmosphere was always energetic which made it easier to stay motivated. One thing I’ll say is you definitely improve your communication skills because you’re constantly speaking to people and working around a team. I came in quite shy and left way more confident than before. There’s also a lot of support from the people higher up if you actually want to learn and improve. I consistently made more than my basic salary I left mainly because I decided I wanted to move into something more related to my degree long term, but I can’t lie, the experience did help me a lot personally. The skills they taught me acted as a stepping stone

The role isn’t for everyone and I think some people go in expecting a normal office job when it’s more fast paced and performance based. Some days can be tiring and you have to stay mentally switched on. I also think culture can be cut throat for the wrong person.

Fast-paced environment with a strong focus on personal development. You gain real experience in sales, communication, and leadership much quicker than most entry-level roles. There’s a clear progression based on performance rather than time, and the team culture is energetic and motivating. Good opportunity for people interested in building confidence and long-term business skills.

For new starts, income is alright cause of the base pay assurance, but commission can be inconsistent, especially at the beginning, which may not suit everyone. The role is more demanding than it may initially appear, and not everyone is prepared for the level of resilience required. There can be a gap between expectations and day-to-day reality.
