General Merchandise Expert
June - August 2021 • Midlothian, VA
What I liked
I liked the people I worked with and the job I had to do. I knew I didn't want to be a cashier or anything in the front of the store so I was super happy just stocking shelves and working in the back stock rooms.
What I wish was different
I wish I had different hours because I worked 4:30-11 almost every single night. I could have just said something to the managers and asked for different hours, but I just put up with it.
Advice
Make friends with your coworkers because it makes the job more fun and the hours go by a lot faster. Also don't stress about knowing where everything is in the store right away because you will learn quickly and be able to answer customer's questions in no time.

General Merchandise
June - August 2021 • Allentown, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed getting to unload the shipments of clothing each morning and fold them and make sure they ended up on the right racks to be pushed onto the floor.
What I wish was different
I wish there would have been enough shipments of clothing each day to do that for all of my shift.
Advice
Target is a great place to work and the work is not hard. I've done harder jobs than this and made less than 15/hr so my advice is to work smarter, not harder.
