Target Sucks - We Hate Target and We Know We're Not Alone.

    benefits are the bait, and happy employees.

    This is with any big cooperation. Benefits are the key to getting you excited to be working at any super store. A great employee discount, and great pay. Target had given me a job in softlines, and to cashier, and mostly it was all about “why you should work here, and not somewhere else” with that being said. I needed a job, so the benefits tactic didn’t affect me because well i just needed good pay, and good hours. It wasn’t until i realized yesterday that $9.00 an hour, and my 15% discount didn’t really matter. it was my first day of training in softlines, and my trainer was really sweet about everything, but she gave me that look.

  • I have a question!!! When trying to change availability I have been told that I HAVE to be available and open to close! Is every store like this or is it just mine? Or is this an issue I need to take up with the corporate office? It makes me feel like I am in some kind of jail! I have never heard of a job telling their employees that it’s mandatory that they are available. In past jobs the most they could do was just cut your hours but not target!

  • So I’ve worked for target roughly 9 months now, and at first I loved it in sales floor, got red cards like no other which is awesome for a sales floor when the cashiers couldn’t even get them. I got no attention for it. All the other team member got recognized for the stupidest shit like she cleaned a spill up claps wtf lets talk about the five red cards I got in the three hours I was here how about that?

    Miserable, at best.

    I’ve looked at this site for plenty of time now and finally decided to post my own, because target has made me miserable, at best. I’m 18 years old and I am already completely exhausted of working (especially in retail) thanks to target. I started this past September. I was a loyal target shopper (not loyal enough to get a red card though ha ha!) and I thought working here would be fun. Wrong.

  • —note: This is not referring to accidental mytime mistakes from auto generated schedule—-

    There are many times that it’s not a mistake when your availability is getting overridden. A flag comes up to let them know you are not available for a certain day/time frame. To get around this, some of the HR “managers” will go in and change the beginning date of your availability. For example, you originally started being off on tuesday’s 4 months ago… and you find out your “unavailable” shift is no longer showing when you check the schedule on the board.

    WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD GET BETTER

    So I have worked at Target for about 2 years. And boy how things have changed in such a small amount of time. When I first started and all the way up to the holiday season last year, things were awesome. I am a cashier who mainly has to close because I have school. Which was fine. I would work maybe 3 or 4 days a week during the school year with like 2 closing weekday shifts and then an 8 hour shift on sat and sun. Sometimes it was less than 8 on the weekends. But I averaged about 20 hours a week during the school year. And during the summer I would work about 5 days a week with almost 40 hours. We would always have AT LEAST 3 closing cashiers.

    Screw the pants

    So I work at a Target out in California, and as state law out here implies, companies cannot FORCE you to provide your own uniform for a particular job.

    That being said, to go along with that law, Target stores out here permit you to wear (and I’m going to quote the rule book itself here) “any solid color pants, excluding jeans.”

    Shove those redcards up your ass

    Yes, you heard me. Shove those plastic pieces of shit up your asshole. Go ahead and shove all 50 of them that you supposedly need a week right up in there. Hopefully you get some sort of
    rectal rupture from it too. If you are not able to do so, I understand seeing as how you already have a stick up your butt to begin with. I do not posses mind control. I cannot force someone to
    to sign up for your scam of complete bullshit. I am not your personal robot. I will not repeat the same phrases over and over again. I’m sick to death of having to apologize to people for
    having to ask them about this damn card and having to tell them that “It’s just my job to ask” when it is ABSOLUTELY not in my job criteria to be a salesperson.
