Store Management Intern

May - August 2019 • Boca Raton, FL

What I liked

I liked the company culture, and I felt they had a good internship program. I was exposed to both the store and corporate environments. I also liked the case study project, it was cool to come up with an idea to help the company and compete against the other interns.

What I wish was different

I did find it difficult at times to communicate with my group for the innovation case study project because I was the only one at a store. The rest of the group were based at the corporate office.

Advice

Take advantage of the networking opportunities because you meet a lot of people in many different positions.

Cashier

July - September 2019 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I liked the environment. The people I worked with never caused me problems. I also liked getting to interact with different people everyday. I also liked that we had daily goals to accomplish and if we did, we'd be input into a box that is pulled from each month to get an amazon gift card or extra money.

What I wish was different

I don't think there's much that I would change. Standing around for long periods of time can be boring and exhausting especially when there's a slow day but as a cashier, that's expected, so I always loved being on the sales floor doing other things like restocking whenever I had a chance.

Advice

The biggest thing would be if you're not good with people and are quick to get angry, this may not be the job for you. There were many customers who weren't respectful and who felt very entitled or who didn't know the proper way to speak to people.

Corporate Systems Intern

May - August 2019 • Boca Raton, FL

What I liked

I enjoyed being able to interact in a corporate environment. Office Depot is a large company and being able to operate in a corporate environment was something new that is going to be helpful for my career.

What I wish was different

N/a

Advice

I was pretty nervous about starting a position that I had very little experience in. But I was able to pick up the material fast and I was able to add value to my team so I would just say to go in to whatever very confidently and have fun with the experience.

Sales Consultant

May - July 2019 • Tallahassee, FL

What I liked

I loved the scheduling and how often I worked. They were flexible with scheduling and it really worked with my schedule outside of work.

What I wish was different

Nothing really. The training was very helpful for me to understand how everything worked and what I needed to do to get things done. I thoroughly enjoyed working there and I am definitely returning in the spring of 2020.

Advice

The one piece of advice that I would share would be to take every correction or assignment as constructive criticism and take it with a smile. Honestly, that is what helped me get through the day at work. Having a smile makes other people happy and it makes the work day go by faster. Everyday was a learning experience and I improved as the days went on.
