Target reviews

-Because some members of management weren’t aware of the VM job scope, it’s very easy to find yourself being asked to do outside tasks to your role. It’s important to learn how to balance being a helping hand and getting your work done. - Unpredictable hours sometimes. Between setting, ISM, etc. rearranging your schedule to get work done before store open is easier as a VM, but can be very taxing overtime -Depending on store, you deal with the usual things like cliques, favoritism, etc. -No ability to grow in the Visual field. In order to grow, you have to take a position like a team lead or something in the store. No ability to get to HQ.

The workload in my role was consistently heavier than expected, which made it challenging to complete everything within regular working hours. There was limited collaboration and support for HR functions from fellow peers and store directors, which added to the difficulty. As the company was going through changes, schedules for leaders shifted and I was asked to work more nights and weekends than was typical for my role. Feedback was shared, but there were limited opportunities for it to be incorporated. Overall, maintaining a healthy work-life balance was challenging, and I (along with a lot of my peer HR's in the district) often found myself working on days off to keep up with responsibilities.
