(1 year 11 months) MJ USA Inc was both a retail store as well as an online store. I managed all 13 Sales Associates at the retail store and trained them on compliance and basic customer service skills. I was the General Operations Manager reporting directly to the CEO. I processed Payroll and managed leaves and ER inquiries. I dealt with a lot of customers, vendors, and managed retail contracts. Unfortunately, the online business was not too successful and so therefore the store closed down and the online business moved to another location.
