Temporary Opportunities in Retail

4. The Bad

The drawbacks of a temporary retail job include:

  • Very little advancement. You're only hired for a specific length of time or to work on a special project -- and that's generally where you'll stay.

  • Your assignment may end abruptly due to management changes, canceled contracts or slumping sales.

  • During holidays, you'll inevitably experience more customers, more merchandise, more hours and more pressure. You'll have to be full of holiday cheer, even if the customer is being rude and difficult.
