Trader Joe's
800 South Shamrock Avenue
Monrovia, CA
92 reviews
Experienced Employee: Trader Joe’s is a very good company! They have good health Insurance, dental, and vision benefits if you work 30 hours or more. Also if you work well you get a raise every six months with a cap of 24 an hour or so. My only vice with Trader Joe’s is that it’s very limiting on the mind if you want to use your brain a lot and don’t want to move up and become a mate. Also, being pregnant is vey hard at this job. Not only because it is a very physical job but HR doesn’t grant you much leeway when it comes to monitoring what you do and how many breaks you can take. It’s a fast paced environment usually so it’s also frowned upon if you work a little on the slow side. It’s also very hard on your back and your body. Other then that they treat us well.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
5700 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 120
Los Angeles, CA
16 reviews
Entry Level Employee: I liked the environment and work vibe. Customers are loyal and friendly. There is not really much to work up to unless you would like to be a site manager. Employees usually get a discount on products and a free drink on shift, before, and after. The customers are usually loyal customers due to Starbucks being a big chain. I enjoy that Coffee Bean uses powders instead of syrups because the drinks taste 100% better. The ice cubes there are also a huge plus and is what keeps some customers coming back.

Vans
1588 South Coast Dr
Costa Mesa, CA
17 reviews
Niche User: My experience with Vans has been amazing over the years! The staff is so supportive, the team is passionate and motivated. Everyone looks out and cares for one another, along with getting the job done! The energy the staff and management brings into the store changes everyone’s mood! I love how the customers always comments on how upbeat everyone is and what a great experience they are having. The only thing I would change is having a bigger store and a bigger stock room. Other than that my job at Vans rocks!

Big 5 Sporting Goods
2525 East El Segundo Boulevard
El Segundo, CA
25 reviews
Experienced Employee: Obviously, this won't be true for every location, but here's my experience. The overall environment is really positive there, unlike other places I worked, there's no drama between employees, it's nice not feeling like I'm working in some American reality show. I was even offered up a manager position rather quickly, some people got offered promotions even quicker, so there's opportunity for growth there. It does actually seem like the company values the smaller employees, whenever the store has a problem or needs something, the company is quick to respond. Overall, I would recommend it to people, especially as a first job.

Hot Topic Inc.
18305 East San Jose Avenue
Industry, CA
14 reviews
Entry Level Employee: Hot Topic is an extremely nice company to work at. My experience was full of positive emotions. I worked at hot topic for the full summer season. My main employer was very kind and was very flexible while scheduling work days. She had a rule of no work on birthdays and was considerate when I was on a short medical leave. A benefit of working there is the forty percent discount that is applied even with sales. All coworkers were kind and assisted me when I needed help or had questions. The District Manager visited often and did a thorough job of checking the store. The store was well organized at all times and was efficient in its cleanliness.

Tilly's Inc.
10 Whatney
Irvine, CA
22 reviews
Experienced Employee: I liked that Tilly’s had flexible scheduling and the people that worked there are amazing. Tilly’s has always been able to adapt to my school schedule and my manager was always making sure that her employees are making their education is their number one priority. The employees there are amazing and we all get along great. I believe that you would have a great time working with friends as well as not having work conflict with school. I also love the work environment. It’s always calm and rarely stressful. This makes for great experiences with customers because we’re all in the best mood.

Wag!
8560 West Sunset Blvd Suite 100
West Hollywood, CA
26 reviews
Entry Level Employee: I love Wag!. It's a great way to make some extra money while in school, plus you get paid to hang out with dogs, what's better than that? Customer service for Wag! is always incredibly helpful when something goes wrong, such as a key not working, owner not answering, etc. I can't recommend working for Wag! enough!

Forever 21
3880 N Mission Rd
Los Angeles, CA
92 reviews
Entry Level Employee: Overall it is a pretty well-run company. Introduction to working usually begins with an orientation day to get to understand the different tasks of the job. They know when to schedule more people due to an influx in customer traffic. Sometimes leadership isn't at high standards as the company has a high turnover rate which extends into manager roles either for compensation or unsatisfactory leadership. However, is an overall good atmosphere as everyone usually gets along with one another promoting a effecient workplace.

Lucky Brand Jeans
540 South Santa Fe Avenue
Los Angeles, CA
13 reviews
Entry Level Employee: I worked at Lucky Brand for a bit over a year! I absolutely loved my manager and my co-workers dearly, and I always looked forward to working with them. I quite enjoyed the tasks of cleaning and reorganizing the jean wall (though by the time you got to folding what seemed like a couple hundred pairs of jeans, you were completely over that!) Lucky Brand had good incentives for their employees, and would often reward us with pizza parties and free merchandise when a certain store goal was reached. The store was always a calm and fun environment to be in. Working the register was easy, folding and displaying merchandise was creatively stimulating, and helping customers was a great way to pass the time in a shift.

Pacific Sunwear of California
3450 East Miraloma Avenue
Anaheim, CA
12 reviews
Entry Level Employee: Working at Pacific Sunwear (Pacsun) as a first job was an amazing experience. I comfortably assimilated with my coworkers, learned new skills such as correctly folding shirts (as a boy, this was a difficult task to master), building store displays, overall customer interaction, and I even learned how to file my W2 Taxes! Among this, Pacsun has been one of my most frequented stores, so to be able to work there was fun becuse I got to be among clothes I liked! It meant so much to me that everyone there was genuine and made my firs job a fun experience, and it will lead me to never forget the great experience I had with the Pacific Sunwear corporation.

Guess Inc.
1444 South Alameda Street
Los Angeles, CA
17 reviews
Entry Level Employee: Overall, there is countless opportunities to grow or change careers at Guess Inc. Most of the employees have started at the company in the retail stores and have used their experience to transfer into a management role at HQ. It is exciting to be at corporate and see the business structure changes and new products coming out for the upcoming season. There is a lot of hands-on opportunities and would recommend this company to anyone who might be interested in the retail business.

Stater Bros
301 S Tippecanoe Ave
San Bernardino, CA
9 reviews
Senior Employee: Working in the service industry is rewarding! I've learned so much about the diversity of my local community population. Interacting with families of all sizes, teaches me the meaning and value of what it is to be American, hard-working, and happy. It is a luxury to work for a smaller business grocery store because I love getting to know the customers, employees, and management on a personal level. Learning the new work tasks is very simple as every employee takes test time to teach you. Becoming a cashier is a fun job and counting money is easy thanks to their newly, updated cash registers.

BoxLunch
18305 East San Jose Ave
City of Industry, CA
4 reviews
Manager / Director: I started at Boxlunch as a Key holder and was eventually moved to a Part-Time Manager. I have been there for over two years, and my general manager has always been there to support my achievements to make sure I am recognized for my hard work. Our associates are well trained, and if they have questions they never cease to ask, which reflects their ability to be open with the management team. It's a fun, active, and unique experience to work at Boxlunch and I would highly recommend the position to anyone who wants to work in a fast pace environment with a passion for pop culture.

Experienced Employee: It is a friendly working atmosphere. Coworkers are efficient and helpful. The schedules are predictable. The supervisors are nice and friendly.

The work is fun and everyday we work in a different isle with new inventories to reset from.

Manager / Director: What I liked the most was how I was in this environment of women of all ages being able to shop new trendy styles at affordable cost. Not to mention the laid back vibe of our music moving our customers to sing as they shop! What I would describe as a modern in store shopping experience.! What I would like see improve is our social outlets, and expansion. People come in from different cities asking for other locations but there aren't any. Definitely the hot spot !

Experienced Employee: My experience was quite alright. It was not the best but it was fun to experience. overall, Vallarta was a fun to place to work at but hopefully it gets more benefits for younger people and includes a variety of options. for example, I work in the bakery section so hopefully this skill helps me in reality to not just learn new skills but social skills. by suing these skills, I am able to communicate with others as well beside my own family.
