DO YOU AGREE? ALL THE HARD WORK FOR GETTING RED CARDS IS NOT WORTH THE SHITTY RAISES THAT TARGET GIVES US EACH YEAR . I BELIEVE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE STORE WHO BENEFITS IS THE STORE TEAM LEADER. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN CASHIERS WERE ONLY TO ASK GUESTS ABOUT THE RED CARD ONLY IF PROMPTED ON THE REGISTER BUT NOW THEY HAVE TO HARASS/ASK GUESTS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

(13) You know I found this site after they called me for the interview. I wanted to know what is like being cart attendant. I read some stories and I said to myself “Ehh it won’t happen to me” and boy I was wrong. They hire me in March of this year and I want to get out already. Wow where to start???
1. The freaking LOD and GSTL think you’re a slave and they could talk to you as if you were crap. One time one of them said something disrespectful that I just rolled my eyes. I don’t like being treated as crap. Even some of your fellow team members think they are your leader.

And how management makes its their business to make u feel like your not doing your job if u don’t get a guest to apply for one!! Every week I’m pulled aside to go over my numbers for the previous week….NOW!!! If today I get 2 red cards I’m patted on my back and told good job!!! NOW if tomorrow I get 2 more the same kind of reconignition is given I might even get a prize (whoopi damn do fuck a free lunch give me some days off with pay fuck outta here!)…but if those are my only two for the week…I’m told that’s not good enough and I need to do better…am I the only person who sees something wrong with this??? Then I’m pulled aside occasionally to tell the GSTL about an amazing guest experience…
Likes(25)Dislikes(4) I just found this website today after coming home from work… let’s guess… target. Anyways it’s awesome to hear your stories and everything although I have noticed how very different the target I work at is a bit different. I would start of by saying, hell the fuck yeah I hate working at target. What department am I in you may ask? SOFTLINES. Yes softlines, *sigh* I would start off by also saying that I hate guests, mostly the old bitchy know it all people.
Likes(28)Dislikes(10) Let me start off by saying that my store decided to drastically reduce the amount of hours given to the assets protection team at my store. We usually dont get anyone in until 2 and sometimes they leave long before closing. Now, onto my story. This morning began like any other. I waited an exceptionally long time to be let in, and ridiculously long for my keys. Both thanks to my least favorite LOD at my store. But fine, I had my morning coffee, I shall persevere.

Now, let me explain my softlines training. I was put on a floor with a girl who didnt even know what she was doing. She showed me where the brands in RTW were then told me to put clothes away. Thats it. A little later that day i had my cashier training. They gave me a book, put me on the training register, and yeah. Thats it. They. Then put me on a lane with a girl that just up and left. Yes, work for tarshit and this is your training. Just a month later i was put on as operator. Worst. Job. Ever.
Likes(27)Dislikes(4) So check this out. I’ve had to come back to target full time since my auto job fired me. So I’ve been covering a lot of shifts for my coworker since he’s been really burnt out. So it’s Monday a day off for me and I’m chilling at home playing Xbox when a friend of mine in early mornings asks why I’m not here yet? That everyone’s been looking for me. I’m not sure why since it’s an offday. Apparently everyone thinks I’m suppose to be covering for my same coworker. And I tell him I didn’t fill out a swap shift so I am not suppose to come in.
Likes(13)Dislikes(8) I already know why they arent giving me hours but still pisses me off when I think about it. So I make more than the minimum wage because of how long ive been there, 10 years.. So the new people who get paid less get all my hours. All I ask my softlines manager is to schedule me 8 hours Sundays and Mondays. But no. She will always schedule me closing shift every other night for 4 hours. Then my coworker said that she got scheduled 8 hours on Monday but she cant come in due to her availability. HELLO! Im open to work 8 hours. I told my softlines manager a million fukn times!! Also I believe they wont schedule me over 24 hours a week so they wont have to give me benefits. Smfh

“You’re a great asset to the team. You’re never late, always show up for work and always have a great attitude. I love the work you do. So, overall I rated you inconsistently effective.”
Likes(55)Dislikes(9) I work overnights at Target a couple nights a week, due to family issues i’m going through. Anyway, I had been a Flow TM for 6 months and gradually moved to the backroom. Everything about working here sucks, as many of you already know. The pay is horrendous, but marginally better than those that work dayside.When my review came up my raise didn’t amount to much.
