I wish I had daily tasks to do. I was working on the same project the whole summer and I definitely could have used more to do.
Advice
Try and talk to as many people within the organization as possible. Everyone is super friendly and interested in what you're working on. Gain insight from them and shadow them if possible.

What I liked
I enjoyed a different experience from my previous role as a cashier for the store.
What I wish was different
More mentorship and hands-on training with my boss. I felt I did not get a lot of training and was just expected to know what to do or was given minimum tasks.
Advice
Do it at a store where you'll receive mentorship .

What I liked
The team supervisors were very friendly and helpful when you needed help finding something for an order or for a customer.
What I wish was different
I wish I had gotten more hours more consistently, although I always requested to stay longer if I had a short shift that day.
Advice
Always request to stay longer if you have a shorter shift because management will be more willing to work with you to increase your hours and possibly even wage because of your dedication and hard work.

What I liked
A friendly work environment and a great place to learn a. wide variety of skills
What I wish was different
I was only trained in the most basic ways and had to learn how to handle problems on the fly, which was sometimes stressful if it was busy or the guest was frustrated.
Advice
It’s okay to make mistakes! Before you know it, you’ll be an expert and be training the new people.

Assistant Store Manager
July 2020 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
I liked the opportunity that I had to learn from all my mentors that taught me how to be an effective executive and strong leader. My HR rep taught me how to be a professional in the workplace and how to lead my team.
What I wish was different
I wish my internship would have been longer. It was supposed to be 10 weeks but was postponed by 4 weeks because of the pandemic. However, they did offer me an extended internship for the holiday break and a full-time offer for after college. I am super thankful for everything that I experienced in this program.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience is learn to think high scope and understand the extensive purpose of the decisions you make in the workplace. That helped my professional development tremendously.

What I liked
My favorite part of working at target is the strong sense of community within the organization. You develop strong relationships with Target's guest and are actively involved within the Sayville community.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had been able to learn about more managerial positions such as a team leader or human resource specialist.
Advice
I advise that you engage with your fellow team members and leaders. Learn about each other on personal and professional level. Networking can be done everywhere and there's no one better to network with than people who are aware of your strong work ethic.

Cashier
July 2016 • Amherst, NY
What I liked
I love interacting with people and when you’re a cashier you have to talk to a lot of people which was cool for me.
What I wish was different
I wish I could’ve worked a little more.
Advice
I would say to treat others how you would want to be treated because I know when I go to the store I would want someone nice to greet me and cash me out, because sometimes something as simple as that can put someone in a good mood.

What I liked
I like the overall atmosphere of the retail store and the team.
What I wish was different
I honestly do not have a comment what I wish was different.
Advice
I advice anyone in the Fashion Merchandise & Design track to have retail experience for at least one year. It is very beneficial to your resume, the experience is great and you actually get to use some of the knowledge that you learned in merchandise and design classes.
