Food Team Member

May - August 2018 • Riverhead, NY

What I liked

The people that you work with are great and really allowed me to learn all the basics of the job in a short amount of time and made the work environment more enjoyable overall.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more room for innovation in the workplace, because working at Target does not require many prerequisites I believe that the rules are very strict and any variations from these rules would result in swift disciplinary action. I understand that there are definitely people that break the rules in a bad way, but if I find a way to improve upon current process I would love to at least be heard for my ideas.

Advice

I would just say that you should just get used to standing on your feet for long periods of time, if you can do that you will be fine.

Night Stocker

June - September 2018 • Wyomissing, PA

What I liked

This job required me to work between the hours of 4:00 am to 12:00 pm. This schedule allowed me to get decent hours without disrupting my other plans for the day. The wage was also very nice compared to the other jobs I could've gotten.

What I wish was different

Because of the times I had to start work, my sleep cycle was thrown off, making me drowsy durring normal daytime hours.

Advice

Target was, overall, a great place to work. They allowed time off when I requested it, and the shifts were at a good time for me. I did, however, realize the importance of properly adjusting my sleep cycle when I start working early in the morning.

Executive Intern

June - August 2019 • Paramus, NJ

What I liked

I loved the rotational aspect of it and being able to try all different things.

What I wish was different

I wish Target had more internships in other fields besides management within stores

Advice

I would go into it with an open mind, and challenge yourself to try every aspect. You have to recognize that you are in a position of power and need to take action and put yourself out there to make change.

Executive Team Lead

June - August 2019 • Santa Rosa, CA

What I liked

The pay was really good and I liked the team a lot.

What I wish was different

I did not get enough leadership experience out of it. I was promised more opportunity and control over a real team but I did not really get that once I got to target.

Advice

Be more vocal about wanting to get more out of the experience. I think my mentor just did not really want to let go of her control, possibly because she was scared of me messing something up.
