My supervisor was extremely helpful in teaching me the skills necessary to complete tasks.
What I wish was different
I wish the schedule would have been more flexible.
Advice
Ask questions! Everyone at Target wants you to succeed and it doesn't hurt to ask about something even though it may seem silly to you. The more questions you ask, the more you learn!

What I liked
I liked the flexibility of the schedule and hours. The overtime pay and relatively high starting rate were also great!
What I wish was different
I wish that the job responsibilities were more clearly organized. I was employed under a certain title, but I did something new every day for different departments that needed assistance.
Advice
Flexibility and responsibility are essential for this position. It is a challenging position at first because there is so much to learn, but as time goes on the position gets a lot easier as you learn expectations and the layout of the store.

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.
