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

    On top of that

    I have been there since November. I was told I would be making this much per hour starting. About a month ago the hr lead told me that I wasn’t getting paid the that amount since I began there because they didn’t put me in the system correctly.

    Idon’t know how hard it is to put information in properly, but that really pissed me off.

    A Bit of Good News?

    Just want to start this out by saying I love this place, it’s been a good source of catharsis for me as I work in an increasingly worse and worse environment at Target.

    For a change, there’s a bit of a bright spot at Target. I’m guessing this is a response to Walmart’s recent announcement to increase wages, so Target has also announced a wage increase to $9 an hour. It’s not much, it needs to be more, and it’s not going to keep me from trying to get my ass out of Dodge, but it’s 50¢ more. I just hope this won’t screw me out of whatever paltry raise I had coming from my upcoming review.

    Nothing new

    As my name says I work in food ave. I often have to open and I bust my ass everyday I’m there. No one gives a fuck about how much work I have to do by myself. I’m pushed to hurry up with cleaning when I have to close. The time frame they want me to do my job in, whether open or close, is unreasonable as fuck. Thirty minutes? No, seriously fuck off with that. I enjoyed it at first but after four months of it I can’t wait to get on with my life and to leave the place.

  • Let me start off with saying that this REDCARD crap is ridiculous. I work at a target where it is not that big of a town so we get alot of loyal guest that come in everyday and already have the REDCARD. A REDCARD is a great thing to have Im not going to lie but they push it way to damn far to expect on getting 44 REDCARDS a week. I mean really??

  • I work with both my step-son’s at a store. We all work on flow with some of my own time dedicated to planogram/presentation. The lead for flow is a nice guy however, prefers to just parade around like he is a bull dog marching up and down a cat walk and barking orders. Fine.

    However, he seemed to have had an issue with one of my step-sons today. As the three of us were in the break room for lunch, (along with at least 7-8 other team members), the lead for flow comes in and sits with my step son’s and I. He procedes to talk to one of my kids about how “there is a problem”… and “why wasnt seasonal pushed?”… and “whatever your problem is, you just need to get over it.”… I had to get up in mid convo and leave because not only was it unconfortable, but I feel it poses as a conflict of interest being he is my step-son. Not to mention – TOTALLY INDISCREET!!

    About time!

    Greeting to my long-time suffering former and current team members,

    I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s post at I hate Target for last year and half, it brought laughter to me when i showed up at Target everyday in 4am. I’m going start my rant against Target after holding it in and trying to tough it out, but I don’t work for them anymore, so here it come. Around winter break, I got “fired” for no-call/no-show for three days in row, but in reality I decided to quit and screw Target over by not showing up work instead of not handing in two weeks notice…why? 1) they never paid me more than $10 as Presentation team member, even I worked at there for almost 8 years. 2) I’m deaf worker and (STL, ETLs and TLs) at T-0950 seems to forgetting that fact and told me that it will factor in my pay review if I didn’t go to Huddle everyday, which I never did anyway, but I could never understood what the hell were they saying except “Today, we made $101,132 and it is not quite close enough for our goal today, $130,000. We need to keep pushing more redcards to Guests, helping Guests, help backing up cashiers and zone your area. We can do it, we only have 3 people from Softlines and 2 people from Hardlines, Let’s go.” I mumbled to other team members that if ETLs weren’t happy with $101,132, then they should donate all of it to team members for bonus as exchange for loyalty to keep the workers.

  • Ok where do I start. Ok I have been working for Target for about a year and half now and at first I thought I was going to enjoy it but just like everyone else my distaste for working there came quick. I felt over worked and underpaid. I came into my postion without training only because I worked for Wal-Mart before and took a pay cut becasue they felt like paying me 9.00 was too much. Anywho those are old problems. My new beef with my store is I feel like they may be trying to force me to quit now that I have a new job. Now my dad always told me never burn your bridges with a job because you never know when you may have to go back and I definitely believe that. Today I went to my store to check if my schedule change had been approve. Of course it wasn’t. So I go and find my new ETL over my department to talk to her about it. She tells me oh I don’t receive the request they go to the store manager. So I look at her crazy because I know she’s feeding me bs but I let her finish.

    Working at Starbucks in Target

    I feel the need to post my experience on this site. Even though I applied for a different job at Target, I ended up being hired to work as a Starbucks barista on a part time basis. When I interviewed for the barista job, I was very upfront in asking how they train their employees in Starbucks. I’d had no previous experience with Starbucks or Target, and I made that clear. The person I interviewed with, while very nice, was new at his job as a….not even quite sure…. as Target has so many acronyms for different jobs in the corporation. He told me that the Starbucks training is around 40 hours. I felt pretty good about that.

  • I have worked for Tarshit for several years and just put in my 2 weeks after finding a job related to my major…thank fucking God. SO, here is a brief list of things I have grown to hate about this piece of trash company. Hope some of you can relate!

  • just when you think tarshit couldn’t sink any lower, they surprise you.

    Somehow they made themselves a creditor in their own bankruptcy declaration. They listed both tarshit usa and their canadian property entity and owing themselves money and most likely paying themselves what they are getting out of the liquidation sale, leaving the suppliers with next to nothing at all.
