    Archived Unnecessary team lead firing

    What kind of business model is this? Get rid of your most loyal, hard-working, management team members? I know of several great team leaders who worked harder than their ETL's, knew more; in a people, management, target business aspect, than them, and at the end after many years of loyal service...

    Like I said earlier Target Open Door Policy is great only if there was a change that came out of it. There is a huge and I mean HUGE discrepancy in terms of pay between a Target team member who national average is $17,735 a year and CEO of Target who's compensation is 20.6 million for 2013. The...

    I agree that an education is the best route for a comfortable lifestyle and sustainability for yourself and your family. However, one thing that many people should understand on this forum is that everyone comes from different backgrounds and situations. Not everyone has the same road ahead of...

    Your value is unmeasurable and should be considered an asset to Target Corporation. People who stick at a company for many years shows dedication and should be valued and compensated fairly. I have worked for Target for 6 years (5 years consecutively and 1 year after a 3 year break). I've seen...

    I just updated my original post, sorry for not checking those numbers when I first posted them.

    I got these numbers from a website calculator to determine the annual pay and bi weekly pay based on hourly pay. I apologize that it's off. Just wanted to illustrate to everyone what the pay would be if everyone worked 40 hours a week.

    Of course not Target is shrinking its team member numbers in their stores but not increasing their pay to compensate for this added work/responsibilities. The only way Spot will change is if customers put pressure. For example Costco has gotten such good publicity for the great pay and benefits...

    Many opponents of a wage increase for minimum wage workers is that those workers are high school -.college students. The interesting aspect of this is that retail workers are a large majority of the US workforce. No matter what you say these high school - college students do have children of...

    Hello All -- In lieu of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and the forced labor that Target requires on this holiday I thought I would share what the average yearly salary is of Target Employee's. I hope this opens up a discussion, particularly if you knew about this salary and if you think it's...

    Archived Target Mobile

    Not much probably not, but if you compare a Target Electronics team member and a Target Mobile. The mobile employee gets paid more than an electronics team member. Who works harder?? That should be an easy one. What I really want to know is if this commission on electronics item is true. If so...

    Has anyone have any problems with Target Mobile? At my store since they are not Target employees but work for a vendor or outside company they seem to have this attitude that they don't need to do anything Target says. For example when it is slow guest traffic wise they are texting all night on...

    Archived Latest rumor at my store

    This is getting out of hand! For years Target has respected their employees time with loved ones and family. Now greed has set in and a vast percentage of minimum wage employees are paying the price of sacrifice, dealing with crazy people, and expected to be friendly in this process. While the...

    Archived Core Responsibilities ETL?

    Definitely! I know there are many team leaders within Target who would not make great ETLs. However, there are many GREAT team leaders who really care about Target as a corporation and its employees. They understand the way Target works from all aspects since they worked their way up...

    Archived "Ding, Ding" Night Service

    Also our store lowered the volume of the PA system so the "Dings" wouldn't be so loud (when they first started doing this the volume would hurt your ears), even with the reduced volume they are pretty annoying. So now when the operator does the closing announcements you can't even hear it...

    Archived "Ding, Ding" Night Service

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have the cordless phone the FRO team member carried with them when they zoned or put away reshop to ring instead of that annoying "Ding, Ding, Ding?". If there cannot be a dedicated FRO then I think target should make this happen, I'm sure we are annoying guests.
