Stock/Sales Associate

• If there were, then there were certain procedures to follow to ensure the problem was fixed.After the store opened and all of the stocking and inventory jobs were complete, I was then a sales associate where I dealt directly with the customer to ensure we met and exceeded their needs when shopping for new products for their homes.

• After the sale, the sales associate is responsible to pull the sold product from the shelf and either prepare it for delivery or help load it into the customers vehicle which was often a very physically demanding task.
