Remodel team

June - August 2019 • Delafield, WI

What I liked

My co workers were fun to work with and we got our tasks done

Target cares about its employees and makes sure they do anything to help you succeed. Pay, employee discount, and benefits are very good too.

What I wish was different

The schedule is a little too dynamic for my liking, making it hard to plan out my week.

Advice

If you love Target, work there. It's a great place to work.

What I liked

I love the community at target! If you want to be invested in and fulfilled by your work this is a great place to thrive.

What I wish was different

Since this is a very large store with many employees and a high volume of guests and product being sold, it can get chaotic. Communication and goals can be hard to keep track of.

Advice

Ask questions and get to know the details of your work center. There is an answer and a right way to do everything, doing this job correctly is very technical.

Executive Team Leader Intern

June - August 2019 • Setauket-East Setauket, NY

What I liked

It was interesting getting experience in retail and learning about sales and marketing. I got to spend time in almost every department in the store and learned from the leaders.

What I wish was different

I wish the hours were more consistent every week. I also wish the leadership team gave the interns more opportunity to be a leader. Moving around the departments so often meant that you never got to be a leader in any department, yet they still expected you to be a leader.

Advice

Know what you're getting into for retail. Talk to the leadership team about their experiences and how they got to their positions.

Executive Team Leader

June - August 2019 • Eagle Rock, CA

What I liked

Target definitely puts a lot of time and effort into their Interns. What I liked about Target is that the culture is real and the days are never the same. After my 10 week summer Internship I was able to know Target inside and out! Also, you will learn what type of leader you are in those 10 weeks, working with a team that could be the size of 150 people.

What I wish was different

I felt that everything Target promised I received.

Advice

Enjoy the opportunity to learn about the company, meet new people, and have an open mind. Take in all the experience and lessons that come your way.

Store Executive Intern

June - August 2019 • Lancaster, PA

What I liked

Interning with Target is one of the best experiences Saint Joseph's University has opened the doors to for me thus far in my career. The internship gave me the opportunity to be a leader of people and teams, while learning about a variety of areas in a rotational program. I was able to learn about human resources, guest engagement, talent and team development, logistics and supply chain, sales and merchandising. My Target team taught me an immense amount every day of my internship experience.

Cashier

June 2019 • Destin, FL

What I liked

I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the comfort knowing that I never had to worry about angering people if I needed help. I also loved the freedom and trust they gave me which helped me develop good relationships with the customers. Finally, I also loved being able to be open about my religion as opposed to being censored.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was a better way to control whether or not employees showed up to work as it was very difficult to make up for those who chose to be absent from their job.

Advice

I would say that whey looking for a company, make sure that they have your best interests in mind instead of viewing you simply as a cog in a machine. When I worked at Target, I felt like I was working with a family rather than a bunch of strangers.

June 2019 • Warren, MI

What I liked

What I wish was different

I wish that I had started working right when I started summer break so I could have more time working during the summer.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is to stay consistent with completing your duties when told to do so.
