It was once an idea that if you got into retail sales, you could work your way to rasises, bonuses, and promotions that would make you a considerable amount of money, as well as being able to stay a while at the job. Now? The pay sucks, the work is nowhere carries no glamour or bonuses, and anybody who can last more than a year or two is in danger of being laid off.
Are there any other jobs that went in that route? What are your experiences?
minimum wage jobs used to take anyone that applied and if you showed up ontime sober you generally got small raises over time. in most skilled fields short term contracts were very easy to get. Many would keep on renewing and that was a point of contention because like hey how about you hire full time with benefits.
