I like the overall atmosphere of the retail store and the team.
What I wish was different
I honestly do not have a comment what I wish was different.
Advice
I advice anyone in the Fashion Merchandise & Design track to have retail experience for at least one year. It is very beneficial to your resume, the experience is great and you actually get to use some of the knowledge that you learned in merchandise and design classes.

What I liked
The staff were SUPER friendly and made me feel so welcome! If I ever needed help, anyone would drop what they were doing to help me.
What I wish was different
I wish I would’ve been able to work there throughout the entire semester, but commuting was putting a strain on my body.
Advice
Specifically the target I worked at really prepared me to be my own leader. My boss really made sure whenever I did something, that I knew why I was doing it and that no one was going to tell me otherwise.

Executive Intern
June - August 2019 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
I was able to hone in my leadership style and gained a ton of confidence leading my team throughout the store. I also had a mentor who I consider to be my mentor for the rest of my career. I was able to have a lot of conversations with him about my struggles and strides with my team. Overall, I learned so much about myself and what I want to do with my career. I also had the opportunity to meet several regional directors and one of the Vice Presidents of Target.
What I wish was different
I loved my internship and don't wish anything was different.
Advice
I would say to not be afraid to be super open to feedback and learn from the feedback.

Cashier
July 2018 - August 2019 • Manteca, CA
What I liked
The people that I met while working. They were honestly the only thing that kept me from quitting for so long
What I wish was different
Never applied because target sucks. I worked there an entire year and on my review (after they had me cover multiple shifts, work positions outside of being a cashier, etc.) They gave me a whopping $0.20 raise. 20 cents. The company DOES NOT care about you I can promise you that.
Advice
If you dont like doing the same exact thing over and over and over again definitely dont be a cashier at target. Also I wish I would have asked for more of a raise once they had me doing tasks outside of my position because they basically take advantage of you not asking.

Technology Specialist
May - August 2021 • Richmond, VA
What I liked
I liked getting the firsthand experience of watching products move from distributor to customer. It was really eye-opening to get a retail experience that used my technology knowledge to assist people.
What I wish was different
I wish that there was less work that wasn't related to my position; oftentimes I was rearranging the toys and books section even those technically aren't part of the electronics section.
Advice
Definitely do it if you need a good summer job, it helped me pay for summer classes and have some spending money on top of that
