Target1

Sales associate

July 2017 - September 2018 • Norwalk, CA

What I liked

I like the environment. Coming into work was always fun and exciting. I had the privilege of being taught different areas around the store, and was able to pick up new abilities. Everyday would be different coming from cashiering to helping with online orders.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to learn more areas at Target. I wish I was able to learn things like setting the mannequins or being able to set up the store during the holidays. Perhaps be able to closer to more of the leaders in the different departments.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is to be open to different positions offered. There's a ton of positions available and they each have something positive, about them. Get along with your coworkers and the leaders they make the experience ten times more enjoyable.

Seasonal Packer

June - August 2018 • Fridley, MN

What I liked

I liked the employee environment and the job was fairly simple.

What I wish was different

I wish the human resources got more involved with the employee's because the communication from HR to the Team leads were terrible. Had they fixed this issue I believe people wouldn't be so irritated or confused. I also did not how socially awkward the Team Leader was.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about my experience working during the summer for Target is that before you apply for a summer job make sure you know ALL of the occupations duties and most importantly how much you get paid compared to other positions.

Target Store Executive Intern

May - July 2018 • Fresno, CA

What I liked

The internship provided a great insight into how the professional is, especially in business, and grew me professionally, personally, and spiritually. I was put into real-world situations with employees and managers developed managerial and leadership skills. I was pushed to apply my understanding of leadership and to grow the potential of the team I was over.

What I wish was different

Nothing. The internship wasn't perfect but it did teach me about myself, about the operations of Target, and better prepared me for what's to come professionally in my future.

Advice

Be prepared to be wrong and to face adversity. It's not an easy experience, but you can make it less complicated than it is. Coming in with a growth-mindset and creating a reputation of always wanting to learn and humility will allow you to overcome the hard parts of this internship. An employer wants to see you be diligent and see if they can work alongside you.

Consumables Logistics

May - August 2018 • Plano, TX

What I liked

The Target workplace is a vast number of people working at all times, doing different things. Although there was not much time to acquaint with coworkers in other departments, the consumables employees helped me get into the groove in a friendly, timely manner. Overall Target was one of my most enjoyable work experiences yet.

What I wish was different

The only complaint I had was working 2 am shifts, but that's just what the job entails when you're having to work the freight out onto the store floor.

Advice

If you're working at a Super Target in a good area, be prepared to work often and effectively. The amount of freight that Target gets in on the daily is astonishing.
