Cashier

July - September 2018 • Westwood, CA

What I liked

The working environment for the most part was very welcoming and easy to integrate into. As a cashier, the types of work assignments varied.

What I wish was different

When school started, the hours weren't really flexible around my busy school schedule. The commute to Westwood was also difficult to factor into my busy life, so a more flexible schedule would have been desirable.

Advice

Communication between yourself and managers is key in any job.

Cart Attendant

June - August 2018 • San Mateo, CA

What I liked

The other team members were really kind and supportive.

What I wish was different

Honestly I wish I had applied to be solely a cashier or a hardlines team member. The position requires a lot of physical effort and a lot of flexibility.

Advice

Prepare to be really tired after 8 hour shifts. Also make sure to prioritize keeping cart corrals inside the store full, even if people are requesting help elsewhere (salvage, garbage removal, etc).

Executive Intern

June - August 2018 • West Chester Township, OH

Cashier

June 2018 • Schaumburg, IL

What I liked

I liked that I got to work with a team of helpful people and that I got to see a lot of my neighbors as guests.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had gotten more hours. My plan was to work a lot this summer but unfortunately I only worked 12-16 hours per week.

Advice

I would say that you do need some patience as some of the guests (in any type of retail or customer service job) can get a little out of hand. But overall, if you keep calm and have a great attitude the guests will mirror that.

Sales associate

What I liked

Company is understanding of hours requested whether that be less for school/other job or more for full time position. Team members are great to work with. Leaders and team leads are very welcoming and are always more than willing to help if you have any questions or concerns. Ages range from college to older adults. Company offers better pay right off the bat.
