Cashier

May - August 2019 • Braintree, MA

What I liked

I enjoyed working. Working is a good way to fill time in the summer. What am I going to be doing other than working? Environment was social enough, and I naturally liked the values of keeping everything looking tidy and being nice to the customer.

What I wish was different

Sometimes I got closing shifts into opening shifts. Those were a bit of a pain, as I'd get home and go to sleep only to wake up to go back to work, but they didn't happen often.

Advice

Target is a good job, and I feel they're likely to hire you if you want a job.

April 2017 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I enjoyed working in a team and having an opportunity to grow within the business. I have moved from being a cashier to an electronics specialist in under two years. As an electronics specialist, I have the pleasure of assisting guests in making decisions in relation to identifying which products will benefit them the most.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have begun training within the tech department earlier in the year. I was given the opportunity to learn through experience, but only recently have I learned that training offered by the business can fill in the knowledge gaps.

Advice

Take advantage of your resources provided to you by the business. The business and the employee must have a working relationship where both parties invest in one another.

Grocery Stocker

June - July 2019 • Chico, CA

What I liked

I had great co-workers, the job was simple, customers were nice.

What I wish was different

I had to find another job as they docked our department hours, I went from having an average 30 hour work week to an 12-8 hour work week. I had to quit to find a job that gave more hours. The management gave out too many hours and then cut back departments that were not in "High demand".

Advice

If you start noticing a drop in your hours for no reason, bring it up immediately. Others that have worked there for years have said the hour cuts happen o almost a yearly basis. Only cashiers don't get hour cut.
