Hello, and Goodbye.

About two months ago I was contacted by the local Target about my job application and asked to come in for an interview the following day. The interview went very well. They told me that they needed a full time Price Team member to work from 6a-2p or 8a-4p around 5 days a week. I wasn’t too pleased with the hours, but this being my first job, I dealt with it. So, two weeks went by, and I called Target to follow up and they told me they’d have the HR get in contact with me. I called a week later, and they connected me to the HR manager and she said she’d call me the next day and schedule orientation. A week later, I called back. No answer. Nobody could help me. Then, a week later she calls about my job and tells me to come in the next day for orientation. It took OVER A MONTH for them to contact me. Well, I went to orientation. And I started the following week. (A month and a half after interview).

I showed up 10 minutes early for a good “first impression” and rang the door bell and was immediately REAMED and told that I can’t show up that early! On time only. Excuse me? What kind of employer says that? Then, I find out that on average it takes an HOUR to even SET UP/ FIND equipment that works to do the job that I needed. I wasn’t being properly trained. They expected me to pretty much learn how to use the PDA myself, and ticket/learn the store on my own time. I was forced to more ore less work through my breaks too because the workload was so heavy and nobody on the pricing team  did anything.

I’ve worked 4 shifts since I’ve started 2 weeks ago, all extremely unprofessional. I’m going to work on Wednesday, and handing in my badge after my shift.

Screw your “Two weeks notice”.

  Great job on telling Target to fuck off without 2 weeks notice. I should've done the samething.
