Distribution Operations Intern
May - August 2021 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
The pay and other interns
What I wish was different
I wish there had been more structure
Advice
If you're looking into Operations Opportunities, know that this is basically an assistant manager job for their distribution center working Monday through Thursday, from either 2am-1:30pm or 1pm-1:30am. They expect you to show up early, and stay late with no overtime pay because it's not in budget.

What I liked
Very face paced and helped me gain experience with customer service and getting better with transactions and sales.
What I wish was different
Communication among coworkers and management was a mess so more clear instructions from both parties can make this workplace more efficient
Advice
Patience is the key with any job, especially jobs that are customer service driven where one has to deal with all kinds of people. If you are able to interact with a variety of different people, then that is definitely a valuable asset for any future endeavor

Retail Salesperson
June 2018 - August 2019 • Paramus, NJ
What I liked
The other staff were extremely friendly and all treated me like family.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more associates to work to carry furniture. We would always struggle carrying items from the floor to outside and scramble to fill positions if someone was not able to make it to work. I would say we were extremely understaffed.
Advice
Remember to speak your mind and advocate for yourself. If you take on too much work that you know you can't handle, you will burn yourself out. Also, wear comfortable shoes. Walking around all day in cushion-less shoes is horrible.

I loved the environment of the workplace. The workers treat each other so kindly as if we are one big family. It doesn’t matter what you’re assigned, because everyone helps everyone.
What I wish was different
I wish we had a little less people just so that some people could get more hours. It’s so many people so hours have to be spread out.

One piece of advice I would like to share is to just be a hard working person.
