I was a keyholder at my workplace, therefore, I had a team of girls to help me meet the goals for the day and the functionality of the store. To maintain a good relationship between the girls and the other managers would consist of communication that was filled with trust and honesty. Dynamite main goal is the visual of the store, how it presents itself to bring in customers and most importantly the customer services. …show more content…

At every start of any of the girls shift, we would give them a one-minute breakdown regarding what's expected for today and mentioning their goals.

On specific day would have an important event to do for example; every Wednesday is markdown the clothing and set them in the sale section.

Working at dynamite as one of the managers could be very nerve-racking because I started out just as a cashier then had the opportunity to be promoted.

I found myself good at keeping our teammates at peace with each other, and compromising when we are at a disagreement.

These differences did not separate us, but instead allowed us to grow closer and work together better. Nobody would try to fight over what they did best, and our tasks would all be completed.
