Customer Service Representative

July 2017 - August 2019 • Logan, UT

What I liked

The work environment is fabulous. People are friendly and helpful. They trust you to work independently but are always willing to lend a hand. There are tons of opportunities to learn new skills and use the ones you have. Also, the hours are flexible enough that full time is offered in the summer and part time in the school year.

What I wish was different

The pay is a little low to make it a really valuable job for most people.

Advice

Loving where you work and the people you work with is worth way more than money.

A little bit more clear on pay, in my personal experience. I signed late in the game and didn't have much time. But that's my fault

Salesman

May - August 2019 • Albany, NY

What I liked

We got to experience new things living across the country. We were a team and all of us in or branch became very close. They pay is a huge benefit as well.

What I wish was different

I had recruited more friends to come with us. It was a huge blessing for us and so I wish we would have shared that more with others.

Advice

There are a lot of summer sales jobs out there. Don't base every opportunity off what you THINK it is like. Shop around and don't be scared of the words "summer sales" because with Fox, it is a great experience and they actually care about you as a person!

Work as hard as you can. The harder you work the more money you make.

Summer Sales

May - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the companies values and the people i worked with.

What I wish was different

less strict on hours of work put in and more relaxed. Also parking was horrible in New York most of the time. even where we lived.

Advice

It is a great learning opportunity of what one might want to look for in a job and gives you experience with dealing with companies. If you decide to do it, stick it out. But don't be afraid to move around in the company if you don't enjoy what you are doing

Route Sales Manager

May - August 2018 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

It's a big challenge with a lot of learning opportunities. Working and living with a team you form some great friendships. It pays much better than hourly wages, if you put in the time. Leaders put in time to ensure success.

What I wish was different

There were some hiccups with scheduling and technicians. 4 months was a little too long.

Advice

If you're even slightly interested, I say go for it. It was very far out of my comfort zone, and even though I wasn't the best rep I learned a ton and made enough to pay for school. It's worth it for the experience alone even if you don't plan on doing sales as a career.
