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.

Cashier

May - August 2019 • Braintree, MA

What I liked

I enjoyed working. Working is a good way to fill time in the summer. What am I going to be doing other than working? Environment was social enough, and I naturally liked the values of keeping everything looking tidy and being nice to the customer.

What I wish was different

Sometimes I got closing shifts into opening shifts. Those were a bit of a pain, as I'd get home and go to sleep only to wake up to go back to work, but they didn't happen often.

Advice

Target is a good job, and I feel they're likely to hire you if you want a job.
