JACOB DEKARSKE ’25
MAJOR Business Administration HOMETOWN Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. ORGANIZATION Metro Market Stevens Point, Wis. TITLE Center Store Lead
What I did: • Assist customers with their needs, including helping locate products, answering questions and suggesting proper substitutions. • Support our pick-up department in locating hard-to-find products, or look in the back to help get those products out for our orders. • Assisting the GOM (Grocery Operations Manager) with data integrity tasks that include backroom and aisle counts, markdowns, as well as replenishment scans. • Ran the Center Store departments in the absence of the GOM, ensuring smooth operations so all customer needs were met. • Checked in vendors and reviewed their invoices to ensure the proper and accurate amount of product was delivered and ready to be put on the shelves. • Coordinated with department members to ensure our counts were accurate and our shelves were fully stocked, and our store was fresh by properly rotating our products to live up to our fresh standards. • Helped oversee our backroom inventory, ensuring it was organized to make sure our errors were kept to a minimum and we were being efficient when it came time to take the product to the shelf. • Monitored inventory levels and coordinated with other members of the department for what was needed and what was to be replenished. • Assisted with helping our new hires with training, learning the store layout, the day-to-day procedures, and what is expected of us on the customer service side of things. • Worked alongside the GOM and other department leaders to ensure the proper amount of staffing was maintained for all departments during peak hours. What I liked: Something I liked about my internship with Metro Market was being given the opportunity to step in to a management role and learn what it is like to overlook departments. I also really enjoyed the fast paced environment that I was in during this internship. It helped my to sharpen my time management skills. Future Dream Job: As of this current moment, I do not have a specific dream job. Although, I would love to work in the sports field since I have had a long passion for sports ever since I was young.
