Disappointing.

Backroom team member

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Other team members and team leads were pleasant to work with. Often got to work alone. Decent hours.

Cons

Executives and higher level team leaders treat other employees quite poorly and are very distant, almost an upper class ruling over/exploiting a lower class sort of environment. Hours are quite brutal for logistics team members, with very little compensation for their 4AM start time. Management have no idea what these team members actually do.

Pros

health benefits are pretty good.

Cons

salary; I work in the backroom and management has no idea who is doing their job and who s just wasting time and target's payroll. Store manager won't give you feedback, even tho he makes all the decisions. I have been at this store 3 years and I only of 3 people that have been promoted. All of them from Sales floor team member to guest service attendant, which is not much of a promotion at all. I work 6 days a week and only get 30 hours per week.

Not a bad place to work

Pros

Most team members get along, we're all stuck in the same boat. Equipment and training is very good. Usually FFF place to work at.

Cons

The pay isn't the best, but if you're a student going to school and working at the same time, it's not a bad gig. Hours seem to fluctuate a lot which isn't too good, but that's all based on sales. There is some favoritism going on as well.
