Team member

June 2020 • Hamilton, OH

What I liked

The team supervisors were very friendly and helpful when you needed help finding something for an order or for a customer.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten more hours more consistently, although I always requested to stay longer if I had a short shift that day.

Advice

Always request to stay longer if you have a shorter shift because management will be more willing to work with you to increase your hours and possibly even wage because of your dedication and hard work.

Assistant Store Manager

July 2020 • Los Angeles, CA

What I liked

I liked the opportunity that I had to learn from all my mentors that taught me how to be an effective executive and strong leader. My HR rep taught me how to be a professional in the workplace and how to lead my team.

What I wish was different

I wish my internship would have been longer. It was supposed to be 10 weeks but was postponed by 4 weeks because of the pandemic. However, they did offer me an extended internship for the holiday break and a full-time offer for after college. I am super thankful for everything that I experienced in this program.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is learn to think high scope and understand the extensive purpose of the decisions you make in the workplace. That helped my professional development tremendously.

My favorite part of working at target is the strong sense of community within the organization. You develop strong relationships with Target's guest and are actively involved within the Sayville community.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been able to learn about more managerial positions such as a team leader or human resource specialist.

Advice

I advise that you engage with your fellow team members and leaders. Learn about each other on personal and professional level. Networking can be done everywhere and there's no one better to network with than people who are aware of your strong work ethic.
