      Former Employee - Sales Associate 
      Doesn't Recommend

      I worked at Pacific Sunwear part-time

      Pros

      It was easy to make sales and perform the required duties.

      Cons

      Most employees didn't last for more than a few weeks and there was a constant stream of new faces and people coming in to work. Made it very difficult to build relationships and also showed employees were interchangeable.
