Backroom

June - August 2018 • Valparaiso, IN

What I liked

I enjoyed the experience of working in a corporate environment and making good use of my freshman summer break.

What I wish was different

I wish I had worked harder to find an internship that is more pertinent to my majors.

Advice

This was a wonderful place to work with very friendly people and gives the opportunity to work in a group and take on responsibility for your own work, especially when closing up the backroom area of the store.

Cashier

May - July 2018 • San Ramon, CA

What I liked

Not much. It was good to get paid 12.00 an hour and they were good about giving me the amount of hours I initialy requested (if I reminded them).

What I wish was different

I wish that employees were shuffled around different positions throughout the day so we weren't stuck standing in one place for up to eight hour shifts. I also just wish I didn't work there altogether. It was not my favorite experience.

Advice

Definitely dont take this job if you are an introvert. Being an introvert myself, I was absolutely worn out by the end of my shifts from having constant small talk.

Executive Team Leader Intern

June - August 2018 • West Valley City, UT

What I liked

I really liked that it was hands on. It isn't a job where you just sit at a desk and I like that because I like to be moving around. I was also in charge of a team of workers at the store and it is great to know that my fellow Executive coworkers allowed me to take charge even if I did make a "mistake" or not the "best decision" while being on duty, my coworkers helped me with analyzing the different options and outcomes that could have happened. It really gave me the opportunity to be more confident with my leadership skills.

What I wish was different

I wish that for a couple weeks I would have had the opportunity to work 4 days of 10 hours because in reality, the executive position is for 5 days of 10 hours. So even though I was hourly and they spread it out for me to work 5 days of 8 hours, I think it is important to know and understand exactly the amount of hours and how long of days that one will be working.

Advice

I would say go for this internship. It was super helpful and I felt I grew a lot within myself because I got a chance to really see how I am as a leader with no outline of how to be a "good leader." The Target team is honestly great and everyone is helping you grow. Even if there is something you could work on, it is an opportunity for you not a flaw. I like the attitude and feel of the company and what is provides.

What I liked

I enjoyed interacting with guests and other coworkers every day. Working in guest services was my favorite part because I got to make sure that the guests left happy and satisfied

What I wish was different

I wish the management was better trained on how to be motivating managers, rather than giving orders and going to sit in Starbucks

Guest Service Attendant

July 2014 - December 2018 • Chula Vista, CA

What I liked

Great Company to work for. They treated everyone with respect and adjusted schedule around school needs.

What I wish was different

Unless you had a supervisor position, such as mine, your schedule was pretty sporadic. It would of been nice for all employees to have a set schedule.

Advice

Learn to work in all areas, not just the one you are hired for. It shows that you are dedicated to helping the company grow, and they tend to look very favorably on the people that do so.

Starbucks Barista

March 2016 • Frisco, TX

What I liked

I enjoy the work environment, the employees that I work with are really helpful when it comes to learning new things. I also enjoy the interactions I get to have with customers and how my hard work gets noticed.

What I wish was different

I wish that sometimes my coworkers would clean up a bit more or stock more but I understand if they get busy or caught up in their work.

Advice

Get to know your coworkers and how to help out your team. Nothing will run correctly if your team is not cohesive with one another.

Target Cashier

October 2015 - August 2017 • Eagle, ID

What I liked

I really liked the flexibility. For my first job they worked really well with my schedule and really tried to make their employees happy.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to move around more within the store. I asked multiple times in the time I worked there to get trained elsewhere and three months before I left I was trained at the service desk.
