So I recently have been working at retail (a teen clothing store) in the mall, and it's so far been pretty tough. I work on the floor (greeting, folding, dressing rooms). There is a strict image/environment standard that goes onto the floor and I didn't realize how perfect each fold, stack, etc. had to be. My manager is intimidating and I am always nervous when she comes to see my work, and if something is slightly off, she will tell me. I think it's cause I'm new and she's giving me a trainers attitude, but now I see why so many kids at my school who've been hired before have quit this job early. Should I stay, or leave like the rest of 'em?

Make it a goal to succeed in you r new job. Chances are you boss is trying to intimidate you, maybe so you know were you stand in the business or to get the best out of you, or maybe she just doesn`t like you. Whatever the reason, you should try your hardest to master your responsibilities. Remember that the longer you stay at a job the better it looks on an app. or a resume.

You'd better identify between high standard requirement and intimidating leadership style. If your supervisor is a person who requests good quality of works, you probably could learn something from her. If she is just an intimidating person without any reasons, you'd better find yourself a better supervisor. Be open-minded and share your thought and feeling sincerely to your supervisor if she is the former. You could be the one who influence her leadership style.
Evaluate and compare current salary package and working hour etc. first to the market if considering job change.

Stick it out, maybe it is trainers attitude that the boss is giving you. you will realize that after 4 months working. Maybe she will leave you alone or keep intimidating you, that way you know the true answer after that either to stay or go

I say you should stay because you need to start learning how to fold clothes perfectly. Therefore stay.. plus arent all the manager mean and gets you nervous when they come around? =/

do you think you are good enough?
if you think you are and have made a decision
you can move on.
take this situation and use it to better yourself.
take the chance.
the next time she shows up and critiques your work,
ask if she is satisfied , and tell her why she should be.
at that point politely tell her you should get a raise.
if she says no, then look for another job.

Stick it out. Ask your manager for tips about how to do your job better. It'll show her that you're keen to learn and improve and then she'll be more likely to back off.

Stick around for a while and eventually they'll hire more people which will mean that the focus will be on the newbies instead of you.

Give it three months.
Tell your manager that she is intimidating. Maybe she'll lighten up. I would.
