Target reviews

I do NOT recommend working here. I've seen the life drain out of my peers here. Genuinely talented co-workers feel defeated and dread coming to work. 1) As an Executive Team Leader (ETL), you're salary and have to work at least 50hrs a week (ETL shifts are 10 hours long). However, you're "never off the clock" and they still expect you to reply to emails/texts/calls even if it's your day off. You aren't paid for any additional time worked. For me, 7 am-11:30 pm shifts were normal. 2) They only care about new rollouts for a little while and then everything returns to how it was. Every time a new metric or a new way of doing things comes out, we would reshape our teams to meet the new standards but then once the new new thing comes you'll be seen as underperforming if you still have resources maintaining the routines you just established. 3) The payroll is horrible. The system tells you how much payroll pallets/trucks/labeling/ or anything will need but they won't give you the hours to match their own predictions. So you work longer hours and push your team to succeed. But then they add things like locking showcases, closing self-checkout, and expectations that you have to meet in addition to what you were doing without getting any more resources.

Disrespectful customers, physical attacks from customers, store directors refusing to defend workers from hostile customers, awful pay, misleading FMLA, intentional short staffing, health care is too expensive, cowardly corporate behavior when confronted with transphobic and homophobic bigots, racist store directors, creepy executive team leads, weaponizing ADA accommodations to facilitate the firing of disabled people, discrimination against disabled people, using forced transfers or denied transfer requests to discipline rebellious employees, inviting off duty cops to militarize the store, workers do the job of management without additional pay (ex: trainers), poorly designed self-checkout machines, misclassifies full time workers as part time, deprives hourly workers of overtime through scheduling tricks
