As the manager for the grocery department and the in-store Pizza Hut, I led the teams to deliver excellent guest service, promote sales, and maintain health and sanitation standards.• Increased comparable sales in the grocery department by 2%.• Implemented routines that resulted in the produce, bakery, and meat departments ranking among the highest across the store in compared sales. This has continued into 2017, even after I have moved to a different role.• Created a culture focusing on health and sanitation practices, which returned the store to a passing grade for Target's quarterly standards.

My greatest responsibility is ensuring that Target customers receive excellent customer service and have a simple, easy time finding what they need in the electronics department. Because the electronics department is prone to theft, I also make sure the items that need to be secured are properly stocked. As necessary, I train other team members new to the electronics department.
