I worked at Ski market for four winter seasons. I worked all areas of the retail store from stocking the back room to selling merchandise. I was top sales three years in a row starting my first year. My position was a very empowered and I was expected to know my role and not have to be told things multiple times. The work force consisted of only about six individuals plus one manager and we were all very close and had no problem working as a group for the entire time I was there. Working there gave me excellent experience on how to deal with people and what to expect when marketing them a product.
