Target

sales team member

January 2018 • Berkeley, CA

What I liked

I love how i get engage with customers and help them find products that they need in my department. Since i work in beauty, i like to give customers a better idea on what products are better for your hair, skin and nails

What I wish was different

I dont wish anything was different, i have had a good experience thus far.

Advice

I would say that if you looking for a job that is more independent work and engaging in customer service target is a great fit for you. You learn a lot of new things about products and hands on experience with back-stocking and customer service skills.

Seasonal Fulfillment Expert

July 2020 • Oshkosh, WI

What I liked

My boss was very kind and understanding. The work was difficult enough to keep me entertained, but not overly so.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more hours over the summer.

Advice

Apply for a seasonal position first as you have a better chance of getting a job. Then if you are a good match you can keep working for them after the season.

Merchandise Expert

July - October 2019 • Marquette, MI

What I liked

The team I worked with was a pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

What I wish was different

The work schedule was difficult to keep with a school schedule, but on its own or with another job it likely wouldn't be a problem. There was less training than I would have liked. I had to do lots of learning myself and had to ask plenty of questions in order to feel like I was as efficient as others.

Advice

Make sure you can wake up early and have a fluid schedule. Target is flexible in letting you build your schedule around classes, but if you are a new employee be prepared to have a very inconsistent schedule week to week.

Guest Service Advocate

March 2020 • Willoughby, OH

What I liked

Target gives a reasonable amount of responsibility, and there is always something to be done. I enjoy my coworkers and speaking with guests, solving issues, and learning customer service.

What I wish was different

Management could have been better, constantly different opinions from different superiors. I would have liked some more variety as well; when working in the front, there are a lot of places I could be, but I would consistently only be in one location.

Advice

Prepare for a fast-paced environment, Target is a busy place, and many times you'll be doing 3 things at once. Just remember to enjoy yourself and not stress about the small stuff, do the best you can in stressful situations!

What I liked

I like that I get to walk around and get to help customers easier and faster. I am also able to help in multiple areas of the store which means it's never a dull day at work.

What I wish was different

I wish I got to experience more areas of the store, but I also understand we have a lot on our plate.

Advice

Pace yourself, and don't stress about not finding items right away. Find others to help find items and we are gladly able to help.

Financial Analyst Intern

April - June 2022 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I liked the hospitality and well thought out intern program. Throughout the internship, there was always someone to help in anything and they were very transparent. Target's work culture was inclusive and prioritized our wellbeing. Outstanding job done for virtual and in-person week.

What I wish was different

I wished that the in-person week we had was in the beginning instead of the end of the internship. It would have made my project prompt less ambiguous and knowledgable.

Advice

Be yourself. A lot of individual meetings with everyone in the corporate and being candid helps make the day go by faster.

Cashier

August 2020 • Riverside, CA

What I liked

It was very simple and easy to do.

What I wish was different

The constant repetition of the same interaction with each guest became a bit burdensome after a few months.

Advice

To have a positive attitude when dealing with guests and to not take any action or words that the customer says to be personal to you.
