Target reviews about "training"

They push for your lunch break to be as late as possible and don't really try to get you covered so you can eat Poor communication between leaders/employees and between different departments Training doesn't cover everything and you learn a lot on the job but are expected to know things that were not in the trainings

Trying to explore other roles within the company or move up is a popularity contest rather than based on skill and experience.

As a part time employee expect to consistently work 7-8 day stretches. In my experience orientation was disorganized. I wasn’t given the opportunity to do anything of the computer training. I had to actually request time to complete it. If you have scheduling issues; you’ll be told it’s an HR issue. Which in reality it’s a Store Director issue. You can also expect not to receive skill or knowledge assessments and be assigned tasked for which you haven’t been trained. All in all only work here if you enjoy chaos theory and enjoy being set up to fail.

Morale & team culture impacted by layoffs and high turnover Depending on team/area workload can be very demanding and cyclical

Busy and stressful during holidays and weekends Schedules can vary from week to week Standing and walking for long shifts Can be understaffed during peak hours Difficult customers at times Work-life balance may be challenging during busy seasons Pay may not always match workload Limited hours during slower seasons at some locations

The main downside is that hours can be reduced significantly, especially for part-time employees. If you're relying on consistent income, the fluctuating schedule can be challenging. Aside from the limited hours, I had a positive experience and would recommend Target to anyone looking for a good retail job with a positive work environment.

Toxic and Tone-Deaf Executive Leadership made life miserable for all employees whenever they were present and frequently berated employees over publicly-audible walkie-talkies carried by every member in the store. Routinely held back from any career advancement or training by leadership afraid to be outclassed by more competent employees that could do their job better.

little chance for promotion lack of teamwork among some employees difficult supervision
