I work at Target Canada, I’m not sure if it will be the same for the States but I think this system is country wide for us. What is WITH these things? I’ve never seen a more buggy POS (they’re literally called that – how apt). I think I made more advanced cash systems in first year java course. They freeze for minutes at a time for no reason, grey screen regularly, switch buttons (like swapping debit and void) when you made no other input, and are all around pieces of shit. Honest Target – hire me as a programmer, a student could make something better than this.

(3) The Target in Hackensack is a terrible place to work at!! One Lod’s name is John and he’s an asshole! He thinks his shit dont stink!! He times ppl when they go on breaks and if your 1 min late coming back he’ll confront you. I believe he’s acting out like this is because he needs to get laid!!! The store changed it’s over night crew from 10pm-7am with truck coming at 10pm to 4am-12pm with truck coming at 4am now!! Everyone is scattered all over the place with shit all over the salesfloor when store opens up at 8am. Also, there’s never any equipment to work with when you come in to start your shift and your suppose to sign the guns and walkies out! Then John gets on everyone’s cases about signing the equipment out. How the fuck you going to sign them out when there’s nothing there??? Use the brain god gave you god dammit!!! Stupid ass ppl!!! The store should burn to the ground!

For ten years I worked at two different Target stores. Working at the first one was great. We had an excellent ETL Team, Team Leads and Store manager. There were always there to help. THe second one eh!

I was hired on 3-3-04. During the time I worked for target I had a few low level problems with being a gay employee. A few people who dislikes me for being homosexual, a few joke here and there nothing I couldn’t handle myself. And nothing worth reporting to HR or Target Help Line.
However in the Fall of 2012 and continuing to the point I was terminated, winter 2014. I was systematically abused by a team member(adam) and team lead(anthony).
Adam repeatedly referred to me as Bitch, Pussy, and on at least one occasion called me f****t.

Likes(21)Dislikes(3) I’d just like to know, where do I get my refund for the 4 years I spent there? During my time there, I lost a lot of myself. I gave up time with my family and long distance boyfriend bending over backwards for this company. Then to basically get shit on when I wanted a weekend to go see him. I always told them yes, and frankly, working here has made me hate 99% of the human population. Even as a TL I wasn’t paid nearly enough to live off of, let alone deal with all the bullshit from the customers.

I would love to hear from a ETL who hates it just as much as the rest of us. I’d love to hear the inside dirt on dealing with District.
Are there any ETLs out there?
ps. Is it a normal practice for Target to cycle ETLs around stores and not let them stay at a store more than a year, two years Max? Or is this unique to my store? It’s so predictable that I can tell you who is the next ETL to leave, the one who has been there longest. It’s like clockwork.
But more often than not they quit first. The few who don’t quit get transferred after about a year. I think it may suck for them about as much as for you and me.

Other team members including myself have gone above her head and complained to the District Manager and some have even called the human resource offices at corporate and she is never reprimanded for some of the horrible things she does.

Obviously people put up with it. They had to. But I decided I didn’t want to anymore. So a really bitchy ETL came over the walkie and was asking Electronics why we haven’t gotten any redcards. This is where shit went down.
