Fulfillment Expert

May 2019 • Madison, WI

What I liked

Fulfillment expert allowed for a semi independent workspace. Target has done a good job modernizing the workplace so I worked using a “MyDevice.”

What I wish was different

Sometimes there were bugs within the online systems which made finding the products in the store difficult.

Advice

You must be ok walking quickly throughout the store for the entirety of the shift. It is very hands on and independent.

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Always ask questions. It doesn't help to shy away from the prospect of going above and beyond to serve the guest. Your supervisors are there to guide you and your coworkers are there to lend a helping hand when you need one.

Operations Manager Intern

June - August 2019 • Shafter, CA

What I liked

I enjoyed the opportunity to improve my overall business acumen. I was able to learn many complex systems that Target uses for it's Supply Chain and the metrics that are used to track real time productivity. I also had a great time being able to lead my own team for the final three weeks of the internship. Overall, the internship helped me grow as a leader and improved my interpersonal skills quite a bit.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship was a bit more structured. I felt that there were times in which the mentor assigned to me for the duration of the internship did not know what she wanted me to do. I think have more projects to do and a more organized structure would've been beneficial.

Advice

The main piece of advice that I would share about this experience is that it is for someone with an open mind to their job environment. Working in a warehouse and communicating with a rather diverse workforce in a high demanding situation is not for everyone but you can learn quite a bit with an open mind.

What I wish was different

The introduction to the new team leads was definitely an adjustment compared to the previous supervisors.

Advice

Working in retail is great experience working with people and learning how to problem solve. It will be beneficial in any career path.

Sales associate

October 2017 - December 2019 • Killingly, CT

What I liked

My co-workers created a positive environment that I enjoyed being in and was able to be myself

What I wish was different

I would’ve liked to see more room for growth in terms of earning greater pay over time by taking on more responsibility. Taking on extra work was not rewarded.
