Walmart & Sam's Club

Personal Shopper

May 2018 • Tarentum, PA

What I liked

I had never worked in retail before, and this job gave me the chance to see Walmart stores in a new way. I got to learn how they functioned and be a part of it. I liked working with a team everyday to achieve our goals, and I felt that my job meant something.

What I wish was different

All new employees had to undergo 12 hours of computer training. Most of it wasn't relevant to my job, and it was hard to pay attention. I wish there had been a different way of communicating the mandatory "base" information.

Advice

It is what you make it.

I enjoy the ease of the work and the flexibility to allow me to make money while attending school. Without this opportunity, I could not afford to live here in this town.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more vacation time to more thoroughly enjoy my summer rather than spend 40 hours a week working during the nicest time of the year.

Advice

I advise any and all students to challenge themself by working as often as they could to better enhance their resume, earn money, a stronger work ethic, and to occupy time in a productive way.

Merchandising: Modular Development

June - August 2017 • Bentonville, AR

What I liked

The experience was hands on. I got treated like a real corporate employee, was given access to secure information, and was incorporated in all department meetings and got to input my decisions on big topics. The culture was friendly, helpful, and inspired you to succeed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, it was a truly worth while experience. I was even given perks such as being flown out to Puerto Rico with my manager to put my project into motion in the real world, in real Walmart stores to make a difference.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to explore different areas with different projects more, but the company was so open I was still able to explore different areas I was interested in by contacting employees of that department if I wanted to.

Advice

Don't judge the offer or company by it's reputation. The business world is always changing and Walmart is doing amazing. This was the most rewarding and worth while internship I have heard of anyone having.
