Pros

Typical expectations, try to sell 1st Party Brand Mix first, before suggesting other products. Slow and steady type of part time role. Good for 2-3 8 hour shifts for students to make a little cash.

Cons

Wouldn't suggest full-time, be warned it can get slow and It'd eventually get to your head.

Enjoyable product learning, but pressure sales can annoy customers

Sales associate/cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun to learn about products

Cons

There’s no need for high-pressure sales when a guy comes in just for a protein bar. No need to try to sell them every other supplement stack that exists. It gets annoying with the associate and for the customer.
