So Disappointing

I have worked for target for about a year and a half. I was hired for seasonal work in the grocery department. I’m pretty sure I interviewed well because I was called in for orientation 5 days after my first interview.  I was so excited because I had left my previous job to move to fla. with my husband so he could take a promotion. I had been down in the dumps because I missed my old job so much. I worked for a top fortune 500 company for four years and thought well hey I love shopping at target so why not get paid to do what love anyways right?

It look me about three weeks to realize that target is a fucking bullshit corporation. There is just so much about it that could be improved that it just needs to be burned down and built back up from scratch. The pay is awful the hours are shitty and the lack of communication and training is astounding. The employee/mngnt turn over rate is among the worst I’ve ever seen… I get paid slave wages to do the job of 6 people and there really is no real recognition other than the bullshit you hear over the walkies all day long… I fucking hate those walkies…

My managers aren’t that bad to be honest… I mean one or two of them get on my nerves but they are easily ignored. I just needed to get used to the shit way the whole place runs in order to understand them better.

Since they took away my benefits for being part time I cut my hours back to almost nothing… which is nice because I recently had a baby and I’d rather hang out with him than be in that fucking building any day…

what really hurts me about that horrible company is that it has completely stripped me of my customer service give a fuck… My last job treated their employees like gold. And in return we all loved our jobs and took very good care of the customers. I’m still very nice to guests but I don’t go out of my way for them because I just simply don’t care any more…

I can’t wait to be able to just put my two weeks in and be done with it… hopefully someday soon… for now I’ll stick with my three days a week… when they schedule them properly that is…

  I felt the same way...I have NEVER hated a company like I hate target. I have worked for Mervyns, Sears, and Walmart which were blood sucking as well but none were as bad as this shithole company. I am so glad I left
