Personal shopper
August 2014 - September 2019 • Edmond, OK
What I liked
The constant movement, we didn’t stand in one place for hours
What I wish was different
Time off requests. Sometimes emergencies would happen, and I’d need some emergency time off, and they would make me find someone to cover or take an attendance point if I didn’t put in a request 2 weeks prior.
Advice
Learn patience, customers aren’t always the smartest or kindest.

May 2019 • Surprise, AZ
What I liked
The hours were nice. Management kept the team on track and never felt overbearing. My coworkers made transferring to Walmart Flagstaff a hard thing to go through with as they quickly became friends of mine while working there.
What I wish was different
It bugs me that to afford school I have to work full-time for a company which has nothing to do with my major. It seems like I'm falling behind other student in my major who have the time for internships.
Advice
Never sell yourself short. All jobs need doing and so long as you show up on time and work hard you'll find staying employed is easy. Just remember nothing is below you.

What I liked
The people at my store are amazing. My department functions as one happy little family. We look out for each other, give advise, and praise each other when appropriate for anything in life.

Sometimes management is very frustrating. I wish they would listen to the associates more, but management is a problem everywhere.
Advice
Check out your local Walmart if you need a job. They have received a lot of backlash in the media, but I love my job

June - August 2019 • Colonial Heights, VA
What I liked
I liked that I was able to use what I learned in school and apply it to my first job within my major.
