My worst job was coincidentally my very first “real” job. I
started 13 days after I turned 16 at Carter’s Inc. as a sales associate. My days
consisted of repeatedly straightening onsies and baby accessories while dealing
with unruly children and most of the time their angry moms. At first I loved
how simple it seemed but was shown how it would all change. I started to see
the different sides of my employers. Some days they would be fine, most days it
seemed like I was their way of getting all of their personal anger out. I was
later promised a position as a supervisor and was even trained for it. Days
before my set promotion date I was told that the position had to be given to
another employee. At that point I was fed up with the treatment I started to
receive on a daily basis despite my hard work and loyalty and decided it might
be time to find a different job after 2 years of hard yet unappreciated work. Both
Coach and Michael Kors recruited me while I was contemplating resigning from
Carter’s. After a few interviews at both stores and weighing out the pros and
cons, I chose Coach. I have been working for Coach since July 14th of
2014 and love it. The rate I started at was unbelievable and I was also offered
aide with my tuition through the company. Aside from the benefits I love what I
do and the people I work with. I am now treated with respect and am allowed to
exercise my creative abilities daily through visual displays and other responsibilities
that have been given to me. The company even offered me a paid internship in
New York for Design. As a sales associate I meet pleasant people more than I do
the unpleasant ones and each customer seems like a friendly acquaintance rather
than a sale. I have the luxury of enjoying where I work and doing something
that I love. Your best job cannot get any better than that.
