high volume store and face paced working environment
As an opening manager, you're responsibility is to have a set check list type of schedule to have all the tasks needed to be complete by the end of the day. You are the set example on how the store attitude should be through out the day. You must control the problems the store will bring whether it is angry customers, systems that are down, theft, etc. As closing manager, you must help the opening manager complete as much tasks as possible as well as keeping all associates zoned out correctly to make sure you have less situations to deal with. When appropriate, give redirecting feedback and positive feedbacks. Not all these tasks were easy, for the store was a high volume store and especially during the days where you are understaffed. The associates made working enjoyable and helped out plenty to where, there is one less problem to worry about. The hardest part of the job was having to be one of the worst stores with theft. But with the help of loss prevention associates, we learned quite a lot to prevent future instances. One con that I came upon working for the company was that I do not have my degree yet, but I was good at my job, as to where the company would hire those with degrees that did not know how to work efficiently. I myself had to train those who got the job so easily as to where I had to keep pushing myself to become the equal position that they were in. Having to deal with cases of stealing and the thieves become verbal with myself is yet another part of the

Consshort staffed, two hour closings, customers hiding disgusting items hidden around the store
i would start my day by looking at how much shipment we received for the day, and have a quick meeting with the manager that was there at the time. i would then check the EUSR gun to see how much items i would have to replenish. depending on that number i would either replenish the sales floor or start with the shipment. If i chose shipment first that means there wasnt much to replenish but i would check the numbers on the gun hourly to see hows business. if that time came to replenish the floor i would stop shipment for an hour or so (usually less) and take care of pulling the items to the sales floor, and go back to taking care of shipment. On most days i would have to watch the sales floor and take over as supervisor and zone out the current associates to handle a room while giving the utmost care to customers. the job was pretty easy but there would be some days when the work load would just be extremely overwhelming,and i would be the only person doing everything for stock. the hours for regular associates are terrible. the thing i enjoyed the most about abercrombie was the diversity there were so many different people from different cultures and it was fun meeting them.
The hours were horrible and the dress code is hard to keep up with sometimes.

Fun Place to work
Surprisingly diverse and you wear what you want, given creative freedom and room to grow, fantastic communication and relationships with other departments.
Abercrombie had strict rules, but the culture of the job is fun and enjoyable. The management there is great, and they offer you as many hours as you want.

Overall a good and fun place to work.
Daily routine was hectic and quite busy but always felt satisfied at the end of the day.
Best lesson learned was getting my team to be motivated and to perform as one.
Management was supportive and allowed me to make my own decisions.
Co-workers became team players and I believed in them.
Hardest part of my job was ensuring "all" deadlines were met in a timely fashion always.
Problem solving was the most enjoyable parts of my position.
The week was consistent, it was not flux at all. It is a pretty easy job, because you are surround with people that want to help you succeed. I think the most enjoyable part of the job was when I socialized with others.
My position included many retail responsibilities.
Hours were flexible and training was adequate. Interactions with customers were positive. Merchandise stocking could become tedious, but it was a good experience.
