BURTON

What is the best part of working at the company?
Burton is a Family run company and they do a good job at making you feel like a part of that family. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long holiday hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is very chill and soothing. Burton is all about the culture of snowboarding and being around friends and coworkers at the shop makes you feel like you're exactly where you need to be.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get to work, clock in and just do what needs to be done. Helps customers and make them feel welcomed.

Responsible for customer service related inquiries, fielding all customer service calls, handling customer issues and requests, (including high call volumes during peak sales seasons), performing online order requests and data input (including billing closeouts and account management), maintaining professionalism and organization through email and phone contact, planning and preparing for sales events and promotions, and establishing professional relationships with customers and local businesses.

Working as a sales representative for the past two years has given me tremendous retail experience and a wide range of skills focusing on visual merchandising, promotional events, presenting product lines, chasing orders, and growing the business by obtaining new distribution through implemented strategies.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people, the company, the culture.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Keeping up! I worked with very smart people who kept cool under pressure.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxed but busy. Casual and friendly but still professional.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Usually focused on core work for 4-6 hours, meetings spread through the day. Actually had lunches!

I learned a lot about snowboarding gear, and customer service along with taking phone calls and using the register. The workplace was fun and helpful through learning and growing as a sales associate. A typical day was cleaning the sales floor through the day along with answering customers questions and selling them gear. The most enjoyable part was all the great benefits and meeting people with the same passion as me, snowboarding.

Burton is a really fun company to work for. Retail store managers are given plenty of autonomy and encouraged to execute goals how they feel best fits the situation. The most enjoyable part of this job is the people, the culture, and a common passion for snowboarding. However, with limited opportunities to advance outside of retail management, employees eventually burn out.

Fun gig for anyone looking to work retail. Cool employees that genuinely enjoy talking about their products and experiences. Not a whole lot of opportunity for growth unless you are an aspiring retail store branch manager. No room for feedback from employees about products that should be sold at stores.

Typical day entailed being on the road and servicing accounts. I learned sales techniques to increase sales. Management and co workers were great and fun to work with. The hardest part of the job is being dependent on the weather for a good sales season. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to snowboard and live a fun lifestyle.

Some great experience working for the company followed by negative. 
Amazing co-workers and a great sense of community. Great perks such as season pass to local mountains, 50% off gear, bring your dogs to work.
Senior management is another story.

The passion for snowboarding throughout the company is undeniable. Long days on the road and long nights placing orders are all dedicated to growing the brand with retailers, and growing the sport of snowboarding as a whole.
