I was very fortunate to find an organization
that values a lot of the same things that I do. After taking the online
assessment, I found out that my top three values in an organization include being
mentally challenging, professional development, and being respected and valued.
My current organization fulfills all of these wants in various ways.
Working in a distribution center
as an operations manager has its challenges, and I welcome them because I enjoy
challenging work. Planning, staffing, and leading team members to perform at a
high level are all mentally challenging, as there are road bumps that find
themselves into my everyday work routine that make it more even more
challenging than it already is. Target also does a great job of developing team
members. I had the opportunity to go through a 90-day training program after
starting, and there have been several other opportunities for me to learn and
better myself, such as leading different projects, paying for education, and helping
managers work on their leadership weaknesses. Target also respects all of their
team members, from the lowest level employee to the highest one; everyone is
given the same amount of respect and recognition for their efforts. I work hard
to excel at my job, and it feels good to be recognized in front of senior
leadership and peers for my accomplishments.
One of my values that Target
falls short on is providing strong financial compensation and rewards. Bonuses
are given, but individual performance does not have a huge impact on the bonus
amount, and the bonuses are not sufficient for the amount of work being done. I
feel that my education and experience is unique, and this teamed with my job
knowledge and work ethic could be rewarded a bit more.
