The ETL’s STL you name it will do anything to give you the worst review possible.
They don’t want to give raises again this year.
Expect the most negative review, that’s how they save money.
The group of ETL’s at my store are the worst ever and I have been there over 5 years. They are the most negative bunch I have ever dealt with.
They all hang out in the office and gossip about all the TM and plot and plan to make things miserable.
I have never dealt with such a lazy and negative group ever. It is making the most negative working environment.
You expect to not be treated well with working in retail, but this group we have now is the worst.

(5) I applied for a customer service position with target, once I got the job I was told during orientation I was actually in the grocery department, It didn’t really bother me because I knew I could possibly work my way to a different position. What I wasn’t told was I was actually the “grocery specialist” and that came with a lot of hours and responsibilities., 28 aisles all to myself. First off, I wasn’t trained or even shown how to use equipment, I was thrown with another employee and told to “shadow” them which I found was to be very annoying to the other employee.

The SGL still has his job and no one in the building respects him now doesn’t matter he is still there and walks like he owns the place. He is close to the GM so it wasn’t a shocker he is still at work. Everyone knows about it and we are wondering what the heck is our management doing. The GL he had sex with has been with other guys in the building and she is married. She doesn’t try to even hide she is out messing around with coworkers. I am hoping to get another job and get out of this place but for now I am stuck. It is hard to trust staff when they are all so close to each other and seem to be in inappropriate relationships. A married male SGL who just moved to the building over the summer is really nice but he is very close to a single female SGL who is also somewhat new to the building. I never see his wife when I have been off work and saw him at lunch twice he was with this female SGL. They always look very close and more like a couple than coworkers. Even after work I have seen him with her at a local spot near the distribution center. Out on a Saturday I have seen him with her the dumpy wife is nearby but he is always close by the female SGL. I hope his wife figures things out and I hope I can get out of this place soon.

Not one at our store is approachable or friendly, most of them talk to guests like they just learned English that morning, and they all spend most of their shifts checking their phones and hanging out at Starbucks or in HR – in my store, anyway. So please, how do they get these jobs?
Honestly, there are so many things about this place that I don’t get.
I fail to understand why we need to be friendly when the ETLs walk around with permanent scowls on their bitchy faces. I fail to understand why they have written up several staff members for checking their phones while they do the same thing when they think no one is looking. (Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think TMs should have their phones on the floor…but neither should the ETLs!) I fail to understand why some jobs don’t get posted; instead, friends of TLs simply get promoted. I fail to understand why we are lied to when people “leave”.
Anyone have any answers for me?
Likes(51)Dislikes(5) Target is ridiculous. No matter how many times I remind Target, they always think it’s ok to schedule me to work during school hours, and this time, it’s during the week of Final Exams. Now I have to miss two work days because of they won’t listen to me and ignore what I message them through MAX Self-Service, so this week, I only have one workday. Our cash registers STILL aren’t updated and fixed. They still lag, freeze, and reboot at the worst of times. The GSTL’s take forever just to get me more change. They told the cashiers not to put on our lane blinkers, and to instead press the Help button and select “Get GSA/GSTL”.
Likes(31)Dislikes(6) Well friends, as you know I have been out of red shirt and khakis for roughly 3 months now, and I don’t regret it for a second. However I still have all the funny memories.. the GSTL not letting me go to spend time with my dying grandmother, the LOD telling me I can’t go to her funeral without having it held against me, the butthurt customers raging at me for trying to sell them REDCards, the “cleaning up” Dollar Spot by just tossing shit on the shelves. Ohh Target, how I hate you.
Likes(47)Dislikes(8) I got a review, it was ok, surprising as we usually have always done reviews in May at my store but not this year. I got a 13 cent raise. They said I’m good at helping guests and staying working and being on time and telling about stock reported from guests and other issues. They said I’m not good at selling off a good vibe like selling the red card and all the application and savings stuff to people. Oh and now, we have to accept expired coupons, what? Really? Target now supports thieves, crime, and steeling. She said if a guests complains that some items are suppose to get a $5 dollar card, just give it to them, if a guests thinks something is cheaper, just change it. WTF? Seriously? I’m not for the business of Target, but what Target is doing is pure crime, theft, and allowing people to literally steel and have free money. 13 cents though, nothing much. I hate the job, but really this is the highest pay I have ever gotten in my life. $8.67 an hour is the most I’ve ever gotten. I’m planning to quit as soon as I find another job though because people are the ones who really piss me off with there freeloading gimme gimme free stuff minds at my store.
Likes(29)Dislikes(5) On March 31, April 2 and April 7 2014, I attended a new employee orientation meeting and training at the Target store in South Setauket New York. At this festive meeting, conducted by a Target human resources “team member” with 14 years (according to her) seniority, an anti-union video was screened – I started to seethe. At one point, this blatant piece of propaganda gave a statistic showing that union membership is on the decline in the USA, implying that unions are antiquated and no longer needed in the USA. What Target’s video failed to mention is the reason for union decline is the loss of American manufacturing jobs and the rise of the low-pay service economy that Target is a part of. The video also gave other reasons why unions are bad for Target employees – items such as a rigid job description, a lack of employee co-operation and individuality, claiming that labor unions are a business and only want your dues….

Life is good, I found this site. Now onto the “beef”.
I have worked at this anxiety-inducing mind-fuck known as Target for two years, and most of it has been a horrible experience. Yes, I do take responsibility for remaining in this environment, but I liken it to holding my hand over the flame of a candle to see how long I can endure the flesh-sizzling pain. It has been a test. But now, I have finally seen the light at the end of the pitch black tunnel, and the time for me to leave has arrived.
