So, before you join the nearly 12,500 Starbucks Baristas at Target, check out one last reflection on starting work at Target as a Barista from Sandy S. in Amherst, New York:
“I took the role of a seasonal Starbucks team member and was hired on permanently at the end of the season. … I am now the Executive Team Lead of Service and Engagement at my store. Since then, I’ve done so much rewarding work that I’m glad I decided to apply all those years ago. I’ve had opportunities to help my community, I’ve led my team through changes, and I’ve made meaningful connections with team members and guests alike. Twelve years later, I can honestly still say I LOVE Target!”
