I worked for Target for 7 years. I worked 2 years and had to move due to my husbands orders. For some reason my transfer was missed up and the only job open was flow team. The hours and job were not what I was doing at my other store. So I decide to stay home. I come back home a year later. I was hired and told I would have to start off with a beginners pay. I lost 2 dollars an hour. I was newly single and had a toddler to support, so I took it and kept my mouth shut. I learned my new job quickly and soon had the top score in the district.

(3) Do you want to know something that sickens me as an employee of target…GUESTS. Yes, I know with out them there would be no store, but many of them are selfish demanding jerks…I have been a cashier there for about 14 months and these are some of the things that piss me off.
Lets say I am ringing out someone and am trying to put things in the bags..the guest holds up a big bag of paper towels and says can you scan this so I can put it on the bottom of the cart. They never say let me know when you are ready and I will hand you this to scan.. So I have to put everything down to reach for the gun to scan it in order to make them happy. And I do it with a smile on my face while thinking – did you not notice my hands were full?

The funny thing is that when the coupon first came around the ETL’s were not accepting it and we had a lot of pissed off customers. BUT all of a sudden when they got a hold of one it was okay to use it. And when I say they were gathered around the jewelry boat I mean they were like flies on shit. All of them including the STL all at the same time, it looked like a giant BLOOD CLOT with all the red shirts bunched up in a group trying to get the deal of their lifetime lol. How sorry is that?
Likes(4)Dislikes(1) I’ve been working at target for over a year and gotta say I don’t how I’ve gotten this far without quitting yet. the pressure and stress I go through it’s enough on my brain but I manage to get through each and every day even though I have pick up the slack from the new guys and because I’m a team trainer there it’s my job to tell them how to do it right i feel that I don’t need to be left with newbies that need to be constantly told how do the job right things just haven’t been the same for the “flow team” It feels like babysitting sometimes more than a job. But overall i like working in logistics More than any other position in the store.

So glad that I no longer work there. No more games, no more drama.
So they had some of the laziest people at that store. A girl who was in school and would need to go home and study and the Etl would let her, Really? Then guess who got stuck having to work over in her area since it looked like a big ass pile.
Likes(1)Dislikes(0) So this week on the Target Cartwheel app, there is a coupon for a BOGO free jewelry/watch/sunglasses. Usually, there is always the fine print that says the item of equal or lesser value is the one you get free, but this coupon takes off the higher item.
For example, you can buy a clearance set of earrings for $1.19 and a Timex watch for $49.99 and the coupon gives you the watch for free. Seriously, people were walking out of the store with $50 dollar watches for as little as a $1.
Corporate apparently came out and said that it was not a glitch and they meant to do it, but I call bullshit because on Thursday we were told to no longer accept the coupon. This was short lived because we were accepting it again today.
I personally sold about 20 watches the last two days in about 10 hours of work. The watches ranged from about $20-$50. That’s about $700 that was given away free from just me. We have about 10-15 cashiers each day at my store so that’s about $8400 given away at one store. There are 1,788 Target stores in the US so that’s about $15 million total given away.

Rude, bitchy, same old guests (customers). The GSTLs were naggy and I HATED the red card deal. I could never get them and I would always get yelled at. Like try selling it yourself then LODs and GSTLs! Then I got moved to Softlines. Out of the blue, not even trained, and I was there. Then I became fitting room person (currently am still.) I hate it. First the morning person never clears out the fitting room for me and every time I work, I’m stuck with loads of clothes that need to be hung correctly and folded nicely. I would always finish but this got tiring. I’m a high school student with about 32 hours every week! My softlines team and I are close and we talk about anything, but we’ve had sooo many complaints from guest because they always tell the LODs that we’re never working. Which gets me mad. Leave if you don’t want to hear us talk about how much we hate Target! And there’s this one suck up team member who tells the LODs everything and when softlines is going to call out. It’s getting annoying and I almost quit the other day. OVERALL, the management sucks, the LODS sit on their lazy asses and don’t do anything, team members work our hardest to only get bitched at, and to never trust certain team members. They’re snitches and fake.

Came to Albany, OR store, and purchased 6 Febreze items, $2.99 each. kinda of home spray, to kill scent.
I have had coupons to take one item free with purchase of 2 similar. Coupon not to exceed $3.99
When came to register, cashier just scanned coupon, not reading content.
Register took $3.99 off.
I have pointed on it to cashier, she got stuck for being not knowing how to fix it.
Customer service manager came, got mad, that I take 6 items, accused of store clean-up, and refused to complete sale.
Wondering, if someone can help locate Oregon stores district manager, so I can ask my questions to him, or her. thanks
Likes(2)Dislikes(14) Recently I had experiences that really made me wonder about Target. I was shopping and encountered a former Target employee. We got to talking and she told me a story where she was going to try and work two jobs. The training schedule at her new job conflicted with her schedule at Target. Target in their less than infinite wisdom, let her go, saying “she didn’t work hard enough.” Excuse me. The woman worked in softlines, other than hanging up clothes there’s not much else to do, how are you supposed to work hard at that? The woman strongly suspects Target got rid of her because they wanted to fill her position with younger people. I don’t think Target is an angel or anything, but I did think they were above that. Does Target really think that the people they’re slapping around aren’t going to talk about it to family and friends, that the unfairness that they direct at their employees isn’t going to be heard?
Likes(3)Dislikes(4) So I have been over looked again for a TL spot in my store and I getting sick of it. It seems as if your not white then your not rite in my store. There is only one black TL and ETL in my whole store they should say something. I have been at my store for 1year and 7months and still not spot for me. Its always well you need more work, or the time is not rite and last my favorite you need to be more global. WTF I work in Electronics I get guest that come in talk to my TL’s and ETL’s and write to district about me but still nothing and this happens on a all the time bases. I don’t get how much work I have to do. They treat me like a Slave once again I guess that’s ok becuz I’m BLACK, I’m way under paid and My AAR scores alone are the best in my region. What more do you need so weak ass RedCards no body wants? I’m so sick of this place. I get store Mangers for different company’s that come to my store that beg me to leave mine and be a Manger at theirs. Why in the HELL do I said No? Maybe becuz I feel like I can help the team out so they can feel better about what they do or maybe I’m slow. Idk anymore I just want what is supposed to happen when for show hard work for a store that’s HATES BLACKS. So should I just switch stores and see what happens? or Stay and get Over Looked Again? or Say Skip It and Leave? what you guys think?
