Walmart associate

June 2018 • Fort Worth, TX

What I liked

I liked meeting my coworkers and learning a different perspective from what I have as a college student.

What I wish was different

I wasn’t a big fan of being a cashier. I would have been happier if I was a stocker.

Learn to smile and tolerate crazy people. When people are shopping they aren’t in the best mood, just try your best to understand the customers point of view.

Cart Pusher

May - August 2019 • Monroe, NY

What I liked

Being out in the sun and earning a living through simple exercise and hard work

What I wish was different

Better management. The people who ran the store could not handle a lot of problems due to its size. There were employees who would smoke multiple times a day outside of the cart doors and continued to do so even after me and several other people complained. I also wish they didn't move my schedule around during the last month. I had the same solid shift until one day they started giving me the late shifts I hated. They never hired anyone else willing to do this job during the summer, and it's clear that the reason why was due to the poor management and attitude

Advice

Even doing grunt work can be rewarding if you are moving around a lot and get a tan during the summer. But big corporations tend to be poorly managed so choose who you work for carefully

Stocker

June - August 2019 • Fremont, NE

What I liked

I did work that made a difference and helped me feel that what I was doing mattered. I was exhausted at the end of each day, and I saw this as proof that I had done an honest day's work.

What I wish was different

I would have preferred to keep my hours. My work schedule was pretty meek at the end of the summer.

Advice

Be prepared to give it your all, and don't quit. They need more people for this position.

Merchandising Operations Intern

June - August 2019 • Bentonville, AR

What I liked

Interns are included and made part of the team from day one. Although I didn't always have much to say in meetings, I always felt like my input was valued and I could ask questions, if needed. My leadership was very supportive, but also gave me a lot of autonomy to work on my project and draw my own conclusions.

What I wish was different

I wish that the on-boarding process were a little smoother and faster. It took me quite awhile to obtain access to a database that was crucial to my project.

Advice

Be open to new experiences and don't be afraid to challenge a thought or current process! Sometimes the best ideas and changes come from challenging what is currently being done.
