I love what I do, but I have no other life. Doctors have more of a life than someone in retail. No holidays, no funerals, no family time. Malls are open too long. In that past consumers found a way to shop in the structured time that was set and businesses prospered more than they do now. It would be great if we went back to Sunday closed.

Companies want to make more money on less hours for floor coverage, but want Legendary Customer Service. I love to train, but have found that companies talk the talk about training but do not walk the walk. I feel that I never get to fully train and teach assoicates to sell from their hearts and have passion.

As a Director of Marketing AND the mother of 3 boys it hasn't always been easy to balance both. I am responsible for managing marketing and our reservations department, so I have to be in the office more than other marketing positions. Once the departments were running smoothly I spoke with our CEO about working from home at least one day a week on a trial basis to see if my job improved or suffered. I can complete the same amount of work from home (often more without the office distractions) and get laundry and simple household chores completed on my breaks away from the phone and computer. I now have more quality time to spend with my boys in the evenings and I feel less rushed. With the current technology a large percentage of jobs can now be performed from home. Ultimately I am completing more work because I can focus on the projects at hand without interruptions and I am a much happier employee.
