Cashier and Sales Floor Associate

August 2017 • Menomonee Falls, WI

What I liked

I enjoy how I am able to hold responsibility for my self while working as a team with my other coworkers. I do not just talk with guests but I also make sure that merchandise is ready and presentable. The job has taught me a lot about patience and discipline when it comes to interacting with store leaders and employers.

What I wish was different

The only down fall is that I feel that my current employeer doesn't take the time to interact with potential employees. Due to this, we've had people come and leave within a month. Also some of the employees that are hired do not seem as dedicated or struggle with showing self control. Even though the store could always use new employees, I feel that it's important to hire healthy, anxious free, and energetic people. Having workers that constantly complain about their jobs, while anxiously waiting for their breaks and their clock out puts a damper on the mood.

Advice

To make sure not to have the same poor behavior of your peers. It's also important to inspire those whom struggle with the job to have fun and try.

Advice

Would definitely consider if your a hardworking employee and willing to give it their all, along with the ability to work well with others.

Retail Co-Worker

May - August 2018 • Verona, WI

What I liked

I was able to be in a familiar environment since this has been my recurring job for the last few years and I was able to add on responsibilities. The skills I learned all applied to my current job and I felt I was able to grow as an employee and offer more to my job through having this internship opportunity.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more chances to practice what I learned from my internship.

Advice

If you take an internship through your current job, make sure that you work out a schedule on when to be able to apply the information you learn. I didn't not have specific days planned so there were times where I would have to practice new skills while juggling my current responsibilities on days were it would get consistently busy.

Guest Service Employee

What I liked

It is a fast pace job with opportunity for growth and rises. Very interactive, as I was put on register many times, some heavy lifting and hard work to keep up with food demands while maintaining low waste.

What I wish was different

Ordering for the store became troublesome as people moved from the store location and we were constantly out of some sort of food. As well as training for new people let a lot to be desired.

Advice

Be prepared to be put in odd situations and pushed out of your comfort zone, but that's how one moves on in commercial retail. Do not let bad experiences ruin your work day.
