Logistic Processor

June - August 2019 • Las Vegas, NV

What I liked

I learnt the skills of the behind the scenes side of a retail store. Preparing for the anniversary sale was like prepping for a huge event, so it was cool to play a useful role in the function of that. I liked my supervisor and the people I worked with.

What I wish was different

It was great! Wish it lasted longer. Though, there still is the option to work in the winter holiday months.

Advice

Going in, you'll be learning a lot of new skills really fast. Expect something new everyday. Everything takes a bit of adjustment and getting used to it all may be challenging at first.

Logistics

June 2019 • Bethesda, MD

What I liked

I like being behind the scenes. Fulfilling orders, walking around the entire store. You get to meet people from different departments. I love not being confined to one work area. You get a first look at the supplies before their sold.

What I wish was different

I wish I started earlier than I did. And as being part of a team that probably works harder than any other department, we should have longer than 30 minutes for a lunch breaks; seeing as though floor workers get an hour.

Advice

If this isn’t your life’s work, enjoy yourself, do your job, and don’t stress over the customers.

Packaging

June - August 2019 • Cedar Rapids, IA

What I liked

Hours worked with my schedule and good pay. Worked with great people and work wasn't too hard.

What I wish was different

Lots of standing in moving and sometimes had to work mandatory overtime.

Advice

I would not suggest taking 2 summer classes on top of this job. I tried juggling all these things and was successful at it, however it took away from my leisure time and I got extremely burnt out by the end of the summer. This is a good job if you want a lot of hours with good pay. This is a great seasonal position for any college student!

Sales Associate

May - August 2019 • Del Mar, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed the community you build within the store. In addition, the experience is great especially as a first job. Retail is hard work, but its great experience to see if you want to work in that type of industry in the future.

What I wish was different

I wish they would not have stressed making your sales goal so much for new hires. As this was my first real job, I found myself REALLY stressing over trying to make my number in order to make commision. In reality, it should not be about hitting a number; rather, it should be about helping the customer.

Advice

Make sure you realize that you can not please everyone. As long as you are respectful to your coworkers and managers and try your absolute best, this job is great!
