Target reviews

- My team leader had a very poor and militant management style, very often I was asked to perform my task in under 15 minutes that task usually being stocking and when I of course failed I was chewed out. The goals set up by management to achieve were almost impossible since the amount of boxes of product given to you to stock were 30+. Essentially you would be asked to go to the product's aisle, open the box, stock the items, and break down the box all in under a minute. Management's idea is that 30 boxes should only take you 30 minutes or less. I was frequently yelled at for "taking too long" even if I was done in 35 minutes. - Part Time doesn't really mean part time as you will be asked to stay up to 6-8 hours, like another reviewer said they mostly just say it's part time to avoid giving you benefits. On multiple occasions I was asked to stay 8 hours even though I had made it abundantly clear that as a college student I had classes and could not stay. Management would get very frustrated and angry claiming I wasn't taking the job seriously. However to be fair when I did say no they didn't force me to stay 8 hours nor did they fire me for not staying. - The discount they give to part time workers is only 10% while full time is higher. - As a part time worker you aren't allowed to exceed 40 hours so they will frequently cut your hours. I worked close to 40 hours one week so I was given 4 days off and was not allowed to come to work. - Days off are very random with no set schedule, I would get a Tuesday off and a Thursday off one week then the next get Friday and Sunday off. Some weeks I only got one day off and worked the rest of the week. - There doesn't seem to really be any opportunity for advancement. Multiple co-workers told me that they had been in the same job for years with no raise or promotion. All in all this wasn't the worst job I have had but the management style of yelling at you for moving "too slow" needs to be changed. Otherwise it was a pretty straightforward job with decent pay and okay hours for part time.

Terrible management with unrealistic expectation. My store has lost every single team leader in the span of a year because we were all so miserable. They raise wages adequately for everyone except Team Leaders. I was making the same amount as someone just starting out in my position and they couldn't understand how I thought that wasn't fair. Don't expect and caring or understanding of personal issues. If you are sick they will coach you when you use your sick time. I had a family member in the hospital and had to leave an hour early to take care of a bed ridden family member and I got coached. If there is extreme weather and you leave 2 hours early and are still 10 mins late they will still coach you and tell you "you should have left earlier" DO NOT work for this company. It has gone so far downhill in the last 2 years. All of us were getting sick with stress while our ETLs were going on lavish vacations and sitting at their computers all day.
