So about six months ago I made my very first post to this site detailing the horrors of Target I’ve faced for the last four years. Four years of my life I will never get back, and I’ll be damned if I don’t regret it except for having met my girlfriend there. I’ve been free of Target for over a week now and I can’t begin to express how thankful I am to finally be done. Target wasn’t my first job; I knew how other companies outside of retail were generally. But Target was a slap in the face, a punch in the gut, and a kick in the balls. They will demand 110% productivity while paying you 40% of your value and not even think twice about it. Enjoy your 2.3% annual raises versus inflation (note that this number is with an excellent review). Simply put, the expectations there are ridiculous. I cannot understate that. THE EXPECTATIONS AT TARGET ARE RIDICULOUS.

(6) 4 years, 4 precious years i will never ever ever get back. Just thinking about it makes me want to kill myself. Been a electronics team member this entire time while i’ve been going to school. I’m finally done with school, and nearly done with target. I just want to reflect and share some thoughts on target. Target was my 4th job and first in retail, so i didn’t know what i was getting myself in to, but i still should’ve known better. I’ve never in my life felt so pathetic than i do sitting here thinking about how i managed to let myself work for this awful-ass company for 4 years. Went from $7.75(initial hired hardlines) to a whopping $9.37 in 4 years. Not only would i have made more money selling my body on the street, but it probably would not have been nearly as soul-crushing. I’ve made a lot of friends over the years that i’ve seen move on to other companies and its the same story every time. Target is a soul sucking vampire and the other retailers are just blood sucking ones. I’ve personally never felt more exploited than i do on a daily basis at target. I do TL duties every single day and do it better than most if not all the other TLs in our store. I still get shit on when it comes to review and my god the scheduling.. The scheduling…
