Work hard no matter your position. Superiors will see that and put in a good word for promotions or other opportunities.

UX Designer Intern

June - August 2021 • Bentonville, AR

What I liked

I was able to gain hands-on experience with the whole UX product life cycle through two projects. Since I was given a lead designer role, I juggled a lot of responsibilities and developed my leadership skills throughout these three months.

What I wish was different

I wish I was placed in a team with more designers so that I could learn from these professionals in a closer setting.

Advice

I would say to apply to as many jobs as possible, it wasn't easy landing an internship but through months of applications and interviews, I was fortunate enough to work here for the summer.

Overnight Stocker

May 2021 • Macedon, NY

What I liked

I loved the people and the coworkers I worked with since they helped me all the way. They understood where I came from since we were all working grueling hours and times.

What I wish was different

I wished that it wasn't as stressful and the hours weren't terrible, but that is how being an overnight stocker is.

Advice

It takes a lot of mental fortitude to hold onto an overnight stocker job

Customer Service Representative

July 2020 • Taylor, PA

What I liked

As I was new to this country, I wanted to learn new things that happens in the life of a common American and so I decided to take a job at Walmart so as to also manage my time with my University work. The customers at Walmart were mostly polite and kind and since I was being sweet to many of my customers, my manager always had my back. The overall experience in this industry was really great as I also got an opportunity to work with the Anti-Money Laundering Business.

What I wish was different

I wish if the breaks were given to us in the right time. And also I wish if there were seats for us to sit in and work as sometimes even employee's satisfaction can increase an employer's productivity.

Advice

Try to smile always and make the customers pleased by answering their queries and even if you don't know the answer try helping them in a small sort of way which will be helpful to them in some kind of way.

Technical Program Manager

June - August 2021 • Bentonville, AR

What I liked

I enjoyed being able to learn and ask questions to other people outside of the business.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more plan and structure to the tasks I was assigned.

Advice

Be prepared to witness a slow corporate setting as opposed to a startup or younger company with high bureaucracy.

Front End Associate

April - July 2021 • Monroe, WA

What I liked

I enjoyed many of my coworkers and overall found cashiering to be a positive experience.

What I wish was different

The benefits and pay were disappointing. We got a 10% discount on non-food, non-sale, non-pharmacy items which meant basically nothing. I also know that new hires were making upwards of $2 more per hour than me which was unacceptable.

Advice

Don't go in thinking you can change the work environment here, usually you just need to be willing to go with the flow of your team leads.

Online Grocery

April 2020 • Twin Falls, ID

What I liked

I really liked that the job kept me on my feet and moving throughout the whole day. It was really helpful with keeping me busy and teaching me communication skills as well as customer service skills.

What I wish was different

We got new management right as I was coming back for the summer. I wish that the management would have let me show what skills I had before judging my capabilities and telling me what tasks I needed to do.

Advice

Just have fun! It is a good-paying job and you learn something new.

Fresh Cap 1 Accociate

May - August 2019 • Canyon, TX

What I liked

It took some time to get situated in my new schedule, but I liked the hours I worked. I enjoyed the daily routine set up. I also appreciated that I didn't work in the same department doing the same job every single day; one day I might be stocking produce, bakery or deli, the next day I might be processing the freight for produce, bakery or deli. It varied on what I was doing and for how long, so I enjoyed that.

What I wish was different

I wish that my roommate and I leased a different apartment over the summer. But on a more serious note, I wish that management could make up their mind about display assembly and product features. It was a bit irritating having to change a setup 3 - 4 times, and the management ending up choosing the original format it was before rearrangement.

Advice

Don't just pick the job that has the highest pay, pick a job that you enjoy so that every day you spend at worktime will go by fast and so you don't come back to work with a chip on your shoulder.

Cashier

May 2020 • New Lenox, IL

What I liked

The environment was so nice! All of my coworkers were really friendly and helpful as far as training me and giving me tips as I started to learn new things. I had wonderful leaders around me and the customers were really kind as well, everyone helped made it a really nice job to have,

What I wish was different

Sometimes things could get a little chaotic and feel a little less organized than they could be, but that could happen at any job really. You just have to push through.

Advice

Have a good attitude about it! Even if it feels difficult, going in with a negative mindset will only make a long day longer.

Stocker

July - November 2020 • Fort Collins, CO

What I liked

I liked my coworkers a lot and the work itself was not too difficult.

What I wish was different

The customer interactions (it's Walmart, though, so I should have prepared myself more for that), and management. Management at my store was so unbelievably poor that it makes perfect sense as to why their turnover rate is so high.
