Great team I was placed on that offered so much support. The company culture has a great work life balance and people do not seem overworked. The project I worked on was interesting and engaging.

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!

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.

Executive Team Lead

July - August 2020 • Puyallup, WA

What I liked

My store had poor metrics for their fulfillment department so I took that as an opportunity to make an impact in my store. I analyzed the department, figured out where improvement could be made and implemented a new system. I set daily goals for picking/packing and assigned roles and saw a 10% improvement in our metrics.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship could’ve been the full 10 weeks (thanks COVID).

Advice

Make yourself known. Find opportunities where you can make a difference. Get to know your team and find areas of success and struggle. If you have ideas for improvement, share them!! You never know what kind of difference you can make.
