Cashier

July 2018 - August 2019 • Manteca, CA

What I liked

The people that I met while working. They were honestly the only thing that kept me from quitting for so long

What I wish was different

Never applied because target sucks. I worked there an entire year and on my review (after they had me cover multiple shifts, work positions outside of being a cashier, etc.) They gave me a whopping $0.20 raise. 20 cents. The company DOES NOT care about you I can promise you that.

Advice

If you dont like doing the same exact thing over and over and over again definitely dont be a cashier at target. Also I wish I would have asked for more of a raise once they had me doing tasks outside of my position because they basically take advantage of you not asking.

beauty specialist

July - September 2019 • Santa Rosa, CA

What I liked

I liked the community that was built with employers and employees. I also liked that they had a variety of hours that fit your schedule during the Summer. The task were always straightforward.

What I wish was different

I wish I had started working there sooner and the background process didn't take so long. I wish the hiring process was a little more quicker because it took me about three weeks after being hired to start working.

Advice

I encourage people to apply not only to the register position but also to other positions. Some people may not know that there is more than just the register such as beauty and style.

Executive Intern

June - August 2019 • Mesa, AZ

What I liked

I was able to hone in my leadership style and gained a ton of confidence leading my team throughout the store. I also had a mentor who I consider to be my mentor for the rest of my career. I was able to have a lot of conversations with him about my struggles and strides with my team. Overall, I learned so much about myself and what I want to do with my career. I also had the opportunity to meet several regional directors and one of the Vice Presidents of Target.

What I wish was different

I loved my internship and don't wish anything was different.

Advice

I would say to not be afraid to be super open to feedback and learn from the feedback.
