Walmart & Sam's Club

Cashier

May - August 2018 • Grand Junction, CO

What I liked

I loved being able to gain more customer service experience and interact with the public.

What I wish was different

I wish I didn't HAVE to take an hour for lunch because I would've been more productive and less tired had it been 30 minutes. I know it is weird, but that is my personal experience/opinion.

Advice

To work with the public, know how to control your feelings and be as polite as can be in any situation, but don't be a pushover.

Software Engineer

June - August 2019 • Sunnyvale, CA

What I liked

I liked that it was challenging because I learned a lot from it. I worked on solving a real-world problem that impacts a huge number of customers. In addition, I liked that I used current technologies in the processes.

What I wish was different

I wish it was a semester-long co-op because I would get a solid experience.

Advice

I would say to never give up and keep trying to get the best out of each moment. During my internship, I felt that I couldn't get things working at some point but I kept pushing myself and got rewarded at last.

Grocery Stocker

May 2017 • Edwardsville, IL

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

This job is not for everyone, as it doesn't feel super rewarding. You come in and mostly stock the same things everyday. But don't let that stop you from enjoying your work, as without stockers, no one would be able to get the groceries they need.

Associate

January 2019 • South Jordan, UT

What I liked

I worked in online grocery pick up and dairy. I loved grocery pickup because I had the opportunity to meet so many new people and began to understand the inner workings of supermarkers and massive corporations. After 8 months of working as well I was offered a raise and an assistant manager position. I had a different experience every day and learned a lot.

What I wish was different

I had so many different co-workers throughout my time there. People came and went so frequently it was hard to create bonds in many cases. Also with online grocery pickup I frequently had to deal with angry customers about lateness of their order being done, or their orders being wrong. That could be extremely taxing on very busy days, but my managers were always very helpful and would solve any extreme cases pretty quickly.

Advice

A lot more goes on behind the scenes than the average onlooker will know. So many people had so many unique and crucial Jobs that have to flow together in order for the whole system to work.

Engineering intern

May - July 2014 • Pottsville, PA

What I liked

The engineering team across the footprint was always eager to help with my projects. There was a lot of independent work which allowed for a lot of growth and learning.

What I wish was different

I wish the area was more conducive to under-21 activities. The company didn't put on any kind of extracurriculars and I didn't make any friends the whole time I was there.

Advice

Learn as much as possible, ask a lot of questions, keep in contact with those that helped you.

Logistics Intern

May - August 2017 • Cheyenne, WY

What I liked

The opportunity to present to corporate executives in Bentonville Arkansas was incredible! To present to the #1 corporation in the world (Fortune 500) was very humbling and it is rare a student can have such an experience. The exposure, connections, and culture could be very beneficial for placement and advancement in such organizations. Although not important, the pay for this opportunity is probably one of, if not the, highest you will find in an internship. Most interesting to find out is the actual culture and drive of such a huge business, it will surprise you!

What I wish was different

Communication and expectations from corporate offices was not good, but they had just experienced turnover with key leaders in the internship program.

Advice

Learn everything you can about the processes, where ever you go. These are tools you can carry with you to other organizations, and build upon. Try to put your bias aside before applying for an internship, you may be surprised. Pay attention to the culture and look for key success factors. Approach it as an opportunity, not a summer job. Listen to employees, understand the process, THEN think of how to improve it, or solve your assignment.
