Target Sucks - We Hate Target and We Know We're Not Alone.
  • You don’t have to wear kaky pants! Target believes you won’t ever read the team member hand book, and face it, who even still has there’s after about a week? One day after being screamed at for having stickers on my name tag, I took a look at the handbook. Although I found out that you can’t have stickers, but you also don’t have to wear kaky pants to work. On page 15( I think) the hand book says you can wear any solid color pants. They say preferably kaky, not kaky required. On the front of the handbook it says “no store exempt” so if you feel like taking revenge at work, just walk in in blue pants, point out the rule, and you can’t get in trouble. Have fun guys!

  • So I’ve been working here as a cashier for almost a year in southern California. The pay is alright considering I’m just part time, however working conditions just began to get bad recently.

    Before, our break schedule followed the 2-4-6 rule, which was easy to work with and the TLS generally followed it. Now it’s a computerized schedule rather than the TLS manually writing in the break schedules for the day. For an 8 hour shift, you get your first break just one hour after you start, lunch usually on just your third hour, and the last break on your fifth hour. On top of them not running the ac in the front, it gets hot and tiring really fast. A few including myself have gotten woozy due to working almost 4 full hours without a break. One actually passed out. Everyone hates it.

  • Its been months since I left that bulls eye hell and while it sucks not having an income, I am soooo glad I finally took the leap after three and a half years and left that place. For years I had been miserable, hating life and every decision I had made that lead me to that hell but I was too scared to leave and not have a job lined up. I had applied to jobs but nothing ever came up, as the years went by I steeped lower and lower into my miserable life and convinced myself that I would never get out of that place. With the arrival of the VIBE, the fact that I was doing work I wasn’t getting paid to do, and the changes in scheduling I decided I had had enough and decided that I’d save up enough money to live on for months and finally leave. I made sure I’d leave before the dreaded BF and Christmas season..and I gotta say, last year I actually got to enjoy the holidays. Even though I am still struggling to find a job and sometimes I get overwhelmed with worry, when I read the horror stories on here and I think of my own horror stories I KNOW I DO NOT regret quitting without a job lined up..I do not think I could’ve held on any longer.

    I hope all the people who are miserable working for this company also find the courage to leave and never look back.

  • Okay so I was working for maybe three weeks at Target in CT.  Anyway I try to be friendly to this girl and in this awkward situation where I’m coming out of the bathroom near the pharmacy and she’s going in I mumble have fun.  Anyway someone reports it (the girl didn’t care at all) and the evil ginger ETL tells me that for the next 7 years because I said that I had to tell every potential employer I had a history of sexual harassment.

    Than a girl pretends I’m not there and finally I am forced to do reshop with her,  I ask her what her deal is.  She says I’m not interested.  Can we be friends.  I’m not interested in friendship.  I was like why?  She goes personal reasons.  Can you tell me?  No, stop you’re scaring me leave me alone or report it.  Than seven of my coworkers report it and try and be all friendly to my face.

  • I started working at Target in the Littleton area about three months ago and I am going to put in my two weeks notice tomorrow. I cannot stand these ungrateful assholes any longer. First, I always get shitty hours. Second, I cannot stand the lack of communication that there is within the damn store. For example, one manager will tell me to do something and the other will tell me not to.

  • New idea if you feel like doing if you’ve quit target. Buy one target share which then gives you the right to admonish target at the shareholder meeting. xD

    Seems the slashed severance package is due to shareholders grumbling about it. If ya can’t beat them, join them. Not sure if it’s a viable point if you’re still an employee though

  • I worked at target Northgate (REGINA SASKATCHEWAN CANADA) for close to a year before I quit a few months ago and all I can say is FUCK THAT PLACE. where do i start. first of all the customers where rude as all fuck, constantly bitching about sold out merchandise acting as if it was my fault. secondly assshole managers. the worst is this wack fuck with all these piercings who shall remain nameless ASSHOLE has himself  convinced he was the god-king of the target store always bitching at the shit payed employees for not working hard enough meanwhile he would sit in the starbucks for several hours at a time sitting back drinking coffee NOT DOING A FUCKING THING, then he goes on that fucking walkie talkie and tells everyone we need cashier backup. WHY CANT YOU DO IT YOU LAZY UGLY WACK STUPID LOOKING FUCK? or this other manager ( or Fuhrers is more proper) with his glasses and this constant smug look on his fucking face god i hate that prick,(him and the pierced bitch were best buddys) ask him a question and he will make sure you feel r******d or he will make rude comments and think hes so fucking funnyyou ugly four eyed fuck). then he comes in with his ugly daughter and wife and walks around giving all the employees dirty looks because were not working hard enough i guess. thirdly is the “TEAM HUDDLES” nothing is more stupid we sit in a circle and tell each other what a great job we all do, fucking stupid if ask me trying to make us feel some sort of solidarity with the prick manegment. However the worst is the security. If your a native american expect to be followed the entire time your in their shopping. those racist fucks made sure to always tell us to watch them and these people noticed all the time too making all the employees look like ignorant fucks. FUCK YOU TARGET

    Finally Done with Target

    I have worked for Target for 8 long years and I can tell you what, I am so thankful it is over.  I could not begin to tell you all of the frustrations I have incurred over the course of that time.  I worked in the pharmacy for the majority of my time and have been trying to get a job as an ETL with them for roughly 6 months.  I have been the definition of a model employee and always go above and beyond for not only my fellow employees but the “guests”.  Why I bothered to continue trying I will never know.  I’ve battled for raises I deserved, job titles I’ve deserved, transfers which should have been easy have been completely messed up to the point where the HR thought it a good idea to just terminate and rehire me instead of doing their job right, and to get hired on as an ETL.  So, they tried to tell me there were no job positions available, which is understandable minus the fact that I looked online and saw job postings  for well over 8 months.  Ouch.  Then when I am finally ready to move on to bigger and brighter things and cut ties with them for good, they decide to tell me there is a position open up in the area I want to work.  Terrific I think!  Dead wrong.  It took an entire month to just get through two interviews needing still one more to get hired on with the company.  Two weeks pass by after the second interview and no word from any of the recruiters or interviewers I have been in touch with.  So, I decide to email the initial person who contacted me regarding the position.  Within 5 minutes of sending my email, they respond sorry there has been a change and there will be no more needs at this current time.  Thanks a bunch for stringing me along for a month and sapping some more life from me.

  • So I was hired as a “Full-Time” Overnight Flow Team Member at the Super Target #2220 in Norman Oklahoma. I quickly realized that Target’s definition of “Full-Time” is 20 – 25 hours per week. WTF? Thanks a lot for telling me during the interview so I could have politely said “Fuck no I can’t live off of $8K per year!” Oh, but wait…I forgot Target loves to supplement your poverty wage with get benefits like a free cupcake or honeybun in the break-room. Due to the insanely low hours you will be scheduled you will likely never see any real benefits (401K, sick time. etc.)  materialize working for Target, so Invest your break-room junk food wisely!

  • Getting assistance with the additional assistance button doesn’t work.  I will push that button when I need help and there will be NO response.  But let me speak up and get a GSTLs attention the old school way, and I get coached for yelling.

    And God forbid I ask for someone to help a customer with patio furniture and a full shopping cart of groceries to his/her car.  I mean I would GLADLY help them if it meant getting off a register for 5 damn minutes!
