Grocery Stocker
June - July 2019 • Chico, CA
What I liked
I had great co-workers, the job was simple, customers were nice.
What I wish was different
I had to find another job as they docked our department hours, I went from having an average 30 hour work week to an 12-8 hour work week. I had to quit to find a job that gave more hours. The management gave out too many hours and then cut back departments that were not in "High demand".
Advice
If you start noticing a drop in your hours for no reason, bring it up immediately. Others that have worked there for years have said the hour cuts happen o almost a yearly basis. Only cashiers don't get hour cut.

Management intern
June - August 2018 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
It was a very structured internship that provided an excellent overview of retail management as a whole. Target focused a lot on personal leadership development which I also appreciated and found very helpful.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more networking opportunities within the company throughout the internship and a tangible personal project to show for at the end of the internship.
Advice
If you want to make the most of the internship, show initiative. Ask tons of questions and try to get a well rounded understanding of every aspect of running a store.

Beauty Consultant
October 2017 - August 2019 • Boise, ID
What I liked
For Idaho, it’s a great pay. Training is clear, and the fast pace makes long shifts go by quickly. Among lower level employees there’s a strong team culture, and opportunities to build quality friendships with coworkers.
What I wish was different
After several management shifts as well as changes in corporate policy, it began to feel like lower level employees were tools and not people.
They avoid paying benefits by drastically cutting hours if team members get close to approaching full time. The pay can be inconsistent because of this unless you’re ready to fight to pick up extra shifts beyond your department.
Advice
It’s a demanding retail experience with a large team of employees. Aside from your immediate superior you shouldn’t expect much support or attention from management. There’s a definite corporate feel, so it’s important to have strong connections with your peers.
