I know most of us in retail aren't making a whole lot. What's truly motivating you to stay? For me, it has been almost spiritual in accepting that I'm here on this planet to help people, to make people smile in the small ways I can. Sadly, I know it doesn't pay the bills to do these things, but at least my heart's in peace.

My only motivation is needing the paycheck. If it wasn't for that, I would've been gone a long, loooooong time ago. I'm still hoping to make it happen some day. I don't want to do this for the rest of my life.

Honestly, I just like what I do. Its really not hard when you think about it and I am a people person so its good for me to be in this kind of role where my personality can shine. It would be nice to make more but it is what is.

I have seen growth in my role and I’m working towards a corporate role through my stretch assignments

That's such a powerful perspective. Sometimes, the little moments of making someone’s day really do make it all feel worthwhile, even when the paycheck doesn’t match the effort.

I stay because I know the game and the industry well enough to thrive in the retail sector
