- If you want to have a life outside of your job at any point Target is not the right retailer for you. Additional days are a given and 60+ hour work weeks common even during off-peak times.
- The companies poor sales results over the last few years has resulted in ever-shrinking wages even for stores improving year on year. More work getting shoved onto Management.
- Logistic processes are outdated from the 80's, many stores unable to handle in-flow stock capacities once at a certain size.
- Little to no training or guides on how to improve store functions, stock flow, register processes etc.
- Huge, huge senior company leadership turnover, has gone through 3 Managing Directors in the past 5 years.
- Store Support Office's solution to poor sales is increasing width of range items causing significant in-store issues with space management, very poor retail planning. Has been concerncing for 5-6 half year seasons now and only getting worse.
- No incentive to think outside the box let alone implementing changes on a store level.
- Stores have no individual flair, run very much the same leaving little room for innovation and evolution of best practice.
- Communication overall is confusing and jumbled, mixed consumer messages although getting more focused as of late.
