Target reviews

Worked for the company for almost 15 years. I’ve worked incredibly hard to work my way from a team leader role, to senior team leader, and then to an executive team leader. What I always respected about the company was that they cared so much about taking care of the team and doing the right thing. This past year the company has taken a turn towards being incredible money hungry and no longer care about treating their teams with loyalty and respect. Everyone is replaceable and if you’ve put in years to the company and gained many skills you are no longer as valuable as someone coming in with a year of experience from the outside. I’ve seen team members be pushed out in unethical ways like being scheduled one day a week, giving them unrealistic workload that we know can not be complete so we can write them up, values and morals have been pushed out the door. Work life balance is non exsistant in an etl role. Zero flexibility and expect to work 50-60 hours a week without a day off. They are moving to 10am to 8pm shifts so kiss your family and kids goodbye. Yes this is retail but you give so much, holidays, weekends, 50/60 hours, this has become the last straw for me. Pay is good but I’d rather take a 20k paycut and work in a Monday though Friday dayside job that I’m valued and respected every day for my contributions. Run away!!! Target has lost their moral compass! You will be sucked dry and once you can’t go on they will just throw you away like you never existed! Seen the most resignations in district, group, and even store leader/executive positions this year then I have total in the last 14 years!

Inconsistency from corporate values and direction with management. Run more like a work camp. Very little empowerment for employees. Strong focus on micromanagement. It seemed that leaders were chosen for that ability more than any other ability. Scarce training which left many team members floundering and frustrated. Unrealistic expectations. Notorious for cutting hours of team members who relied on their income to support their families, pay their bills. Team members seemed to be treated more like numbers than people. I've heard that Target did not used to be this way and this is a result of the modernization roll-out. Discount is absurdly low in comparison with so many other employee discounts. 10%. Management seemed very concerned with a stringent set of rules than actually effectively training members and servicing customers. Coverage of the floor to actually assist customers was not considered an priority. I can honestly say this is one of the worst places I've ever worked.
