I purchased 10 boxes of lights last season. I went to use them this year, and only 3 out of 10 worked.I live 45 min. from the closest store, drove there to exchange/refund them, manager stated they were no longer in the system. The boxes all have “Mfd. for Target Corporation,” “www.target.com,” and “Copyright Target,USA” all over them, but they REFUSED to take them back or exchange. I called Target Home Office, and after 4 transfers, on hold for 25 minutes, and given the TOTAL run-around by totally RUDE associates, I was told “There was nothing they could do.” What a crock of shit! These packages were not “Philips” or “GE” or any other kind of lights, they are TARGET BRAND lights, and they refuse to take them back. I know I probably should have plugged them in before I left the store, but who would think 7 out of 10 would not work? They just lost all business from me and my entire family! They sell such inferior products, they will not even stand behind their OWN PRODUCTS!

(4) This place is a freakin’ joke!! I’ve had a furniture set ordered online since mid-October. Every few days, I get an email with “We just found out about an unexpected delay that affects your order….” and then a revised expected shipping date. So, I thought I’d check the local stores’ inventory. All of them say on the website “In Stock”. Call the store and check….and after waiting forever and bouncing around their phone system….”we don’t have any of those.” But how much competence should you really expect from a French company……..
Likes(0)Dislikes(0) Every complaint I’ve seen on this site is accurate, yet no one blog seems to go far enough. Working for a company such as this is soul crushing on a variety of levels. The first thing a new employee will note is the overwhelming monotony one has to deal with. Sure, one expects a job like this to be fairly brainless, and I pity the individual surprised by this. So, ok…
Then there is the obvious difficulty of occupying such a low position in the service industry. A Target Team Member is a non-entity, without rights in the eyes of managers or the general public, undeserving of the respect one would give to a High School aged busboy. Again… this isn’t really a surprise. What, did you expect people to respect you in that ridiculous red and tan “casual” uniform?

Being new at Target sucks. Everyone does everything a different way so once you think you’ve got something down, you work with a new person and they tell you you’re doing it wrong even though that’s how you learned how to do it from someone else. There are a few sketchy rude people who I’ve worked with, but especially today I worked with the Target Nazi
Likes(0)Dislikes(1) So today during the morning huddle the lod asks what our three priorities are, in order. I say guest service comes first. He actually yells at me in front of all of my coworkers and tells me no, that is number 3. First we need to drive profit sales, then sell red cards, then help guests.
Seriously . . . The Fuck?
Likes(1)Dislikes(0) Took this job because I needed one, husband is at home totally disabled and needs full time care, but I wanted income, wanted off food stamps, Medicaid. 7.75 hour in soft lines. My training was a typewritten note stating my job was mostly super zoning. Can’t sit down, walked full 6 to 8 hour shifts, oftentimes 6 days in a row. Asked to be transferred to another department with day time hours. Next day my TL called me in and warned me about the numerous complaints she’d received from co-workers and guests about my language. She had it in for me because I complained about lack of training. Knew she’d find a reason, she reminded me I was still in my 90 days. The day before when I talk with HR about a cutting back hours because of home situation, she said how much everyone loved working with me. I gave notice the following Monday after a rare weekend off. I have had lots of bad jobs, but Target’s scheduling and two faced ways of dealing with sales floor people is awful. Family first, ADA accommodations for family reasons, etc. are not respected. If allegations that aerious and true, then why wasn’t STL and HR notified. Foul language complaints, really and a guest noticing a workers name is even more ludicrous. Knew days were numbered, got out before Black Friday, rather be impoverished financially than have my mind turned to mush folding jeans and hanging clothes guests threw on the floor.
Likes(0)Dislikes(1) Target isn’t the worst job I’ve ever had. I’ve had worse. Nonetheless it is a job that I dread going to today. The management is oppressive and often semi-illiterate, and the customers are often very rude.
Today when I arrived my manager confronted me and said “I expect 2 red cards from you today, you’re working eight hours”. I corrected her, telling her that I was only working five hours that day. Sometimes I feel as if when I do actually get red cards, I get no recognition. At most, I get a stupid “spot” card. It’s like, they pressure you so much, then when you actually do it, no one says anything, not even a good job.
Likes(1)Dislikes(0) tried to return something that someone had bought my baby. they said we were 10 days past the return window, yet they lied about that when we signed up for the baby registry. target said the normal return policy doesn’t apply to registries, yet when we came to return an unopened item WITH THE RECEIPT, they said SORRY me and my baby were out of luck, they deleted all registries two weeks ago to move to a new system. This was only two weeks after the shower!!!! They admitted that if our names were in the new registry we could return or exchange, but since THEY switched systems there was nothing they could do.
HORRIBLE RETURN POLICY, THEY LIED TO US WHEN SETTING UP THE REGISTRY,
Likes(2)Dislikes(3) target never pay me overtime. They always tell me you need to be approved for overtime. NEED TO BE APPROVED, are you kidding me. Target you can’t just follow the law when it convenient for you. Is that against the law? can I sue?
I also hate my GSTL they always bitch at us to follow the rules, but they don’t have to. You can’t have clearance stuff on hold, but they stick it behind guest service anyway. If i did that I be bitch at forever and a day about it.
I also hate them red cards.
Likes(0)Dislikes(0) I have worked at Target for a few years. I lost my insurance, I was told, because I didn’t have enough hours. My availability is open. I was also told that I needed an average of 20 hours a week. My checks say the average is 19.75. I’ve done the math over and over and get 24.735. They say that they go from the previous year and that is why we don’t get insurance or vacation and personal time. Our hours are cut because they didn’t make sales and yet new hires are all over the place. Everyone is frustrated over the no vacation/personal time deal. On the website, it says that it is accrued based on how many hours are worked, nothing about your hours the previous year.
