Kaitlin Sonday has been a Target employee for six and a half years, so she’s worked her fair share of Black Fridays. That post-Thanksgiving sales bonanza has always been busy, but now the whole season feels hectic as her team handles spikes in online orders and returns.
“It’s definitely crazy during the holiday season,” she said.
Even so, Sonday, 25, of Lincoln, Nebraska, prefers retail to a job that would put her animal science degree to use. She makes around $30,000 a year at Target and has a social media side hustle that pulls in extra income, but Sonday likes retail and thinks more people should get some experience in the industry.
“You are truly helping people directly,” she said.
