A store that was closer to me opened about 10 years ago. The ETL at the time got me to switch but from the moment I went I started to regret it as I hated the micromanaging of the store director. Nevertheless, I stayed, and she eventually left due to poor survey results and other factors. Today...

The major problem is team members are constantly getting pulled to do OPU’s which means leaving vehicles undone and shelves not filled. In market, where I work, this happens daily.

It’s definitely a challenge with a small team. We grab everyone from Market including try to complete it. It’s great on smaller deliveries but not for large ones that are over 600 pieces. I think the company wants to make things faster and create less INF’s in addition to eliminating errors like...

There should be U-Boats in the freezer and dairy coolers that are marked salesfloor and out of stocks. Once the delivery has been received and the pallets have been placed in the proper coolers, the sort process begins with all market team members. Using a new app within MyWork, team members...

There definitely are some bad managers, but in my experience, they usually get heir comeuppance, either through the team survey or through store visits but it can take time.

If you want to be full-time non management, then consumables is the place to be as there is always lots to do and we usually are understaffed. As for volunteering, it is highly encouraged. I volunteer at two places in my community and always let my HR know so she can record the hours. Yes, it’s...

Target absolutely hires seniors. My store has a bunch of older cashiers and even one who is General Merchandise. I think the main thing they don’t want is someone who is highly opinionated, especially when it comes to the issue of unions. They want someone who has a great personality and is easy...

The headline is misleading. They aren’t completely doing away with self checkouts. They are just continuing to limit transactions to 10 items or less. Not new news. Maybe some locations are losing SCO but not all.

It abruptly shut down shortly after Cornell took over as CEO. Its problems have been discussed numerous times but the biggest issue was inventory. Target didn’t do its research to figure out how hard it would be to get product from D.C. to stores so the locations were full of empty shelves from...

I’ve been with Target for 21 years and also have similar anxieties about leaving. I do have a college degree and have no desire to become a team lead due to the stresses that come with it. The job does pay the bills and I’m fortunate to have saved enough money to live in my own place. I do have...

Attendance is the only factor to get a top review but it helps.

Yes. Attendance is taken into account. Someone who busts their butt everyday and shows up should be receiving a bigger raise than someone who calls out a lot. My lead always praises me for my great attendance during reviews.

I am a former PA who used to have to do everything myself. We now do a wave style team system. I come in at 6 and blitz out the produce racks with my co team member. At 7 one or two team members come in and one pushes milk and one for ones. If FDC arrives on time, we put the pallets in the right...

Last summer we had teenagers coming in and throwing bananas and cursing at guests so this might not be a bad idea. Not that it will be followed. We have also had guests come in with dogs. I used to say something to them but now I don’t feel it’s worth it since they don’t seem to care and could...

Your best bet is to use the help chat box feature and let corporate know about the specific items that are not orderable. Also try auditing the items even if they are at 0. Items will periodically be added or removed based on the time of the year and what is in season. If none of these options...
