Target

Closing General Merchandising Expert

September 2017 • Dickson City, PA

What I liked

Flexible hours, opportunity for advancement, and hard work is recognized.

What I wish was different

Advice

Target recognizes excellence. My best advice would be to just work hard, be engaged with guests and the team leads of the store, and don't be afraid to ask questions. There is always room for improvement and if you're interested in advancement opportunities speak up and say something.

Cashier

June 2017 • Seekonk, MA

What I liked

I liked working with the guests and being part of a team. I liked doing things independently and feeling like I had control.

What I wish was different

Sometimes shift changes can be sloppy and sometimes it feels like there’s no room for growth. Other times there is no supervisor around to help you when you need it.

Advice

It’s a good job, just do what you need to do and you’ll be fine. I recommend this employer highly.

Cashier Supervisor

August 2018 • Milford, OH

What I liked

I like how flexible Target is with my scheduling. They take into consideration that I am college student, so during the summer they will fulfill however many hours I want, and during the school semester they will work my hours around my school schedule. I like being able to form strong connections with other people I work with. I’ve made friendships that I’m very thankful for, and they wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t work at Target.

What I wish was different

There are a lot of changes that have been made to Target regarding frequent apps we use to access things at work, and different things on the register. As a cashier, it would have been nice to know ahead of time the changes being made, rather than finding out on our own and having to learn from someone else right then and there on how to access/use something.

Advice

One piece of advice I would like to share about this experience is don’t be afraid to step out of your boundaries. I was given a better position from being a cashier, to a cashier supervisor. This was something I never pictured myself doing, and I was worried I’d fail. I stuck with it, and I learned, and am still learning, multiple things about my job. This has given me more confidence in the workplace, and overall in general. Don’t be afraid to take on a role that will benefit you and help you grow in the long run; you won’t regret it.

Executive Stores Intern

May - August 2017 • Tucson, AZ

What I liked

I liked that the internship was something new every day-- you go through a 10 week rotational program shadowing leaders in every department in the store. However, there was a lack of support from leadership to grow as an individual and develop as a leader within the company.
