Hey guys - does anyone know if and for how long performance reviews are kept on file? I would have some dating back to 06-07, and I'm trying to obtain copies of all my reviews for some non-Target related things. Although I didn't always agree with the amount of the raise, my reviews were...

I met my boyfriend at Target - I had been with Spot for about 3 years when he came along. I actually trained him to some extent, as I was busy pulling a brief fill-in stint on the Plano team. Fast forward 3 more years...we've been dating steady the whole time, we've lived together for 2 years...

When I worked BR Day (I did for about 5 years!) there were 3 primary CAF pullers/BR Day team members, myself included. For the last two years, I was in school so I worked literally every weekend, all the time. The other two guys on my team were given alternating weekends off since we had a...

Our store has always been a 4 am setup process, where about 4-5 Hardlines TMs and a TL sets up hardlines and 1 Softlines person comes in. BUT we were having a big problem recently with not being finished by 8 (mainly due to scheduling a bunch of new people who really needed training and could...

Yes thanks - that was a wonderful answer and very much the kind of reply I was hoping to find! Appreciate the feedback.

Depends on the store and the management at the time. For the first 5 years at my first store cashiers/GSTLs did not stay to help zone or close, and they were ALWAYS on a lane. I'm at a different store now, everyone helps close on the floor after store closing and the GSA and GSTLs are never on...

Yeah, I would usually pull all of the GM merchandise and save Pfresh pulls for last, because by then I would be pretty hot and sweaty from running around the stockroom and climbing ladders and it would feel so nice to be in the coolers and freezers for a bit!

You could be doing it forever and not be paid for it - my boyfriend of 3 years (we met when he started at my store and I trained him lol) worked as sort of a combo BR Day/Pfresh TM in our Pfresh store, mainly pulling and backstocking pfresh items. Right after the pfresh remodel, the CTL taught...

Haha yeah, unfortunately there are plenty of people like that in the BR - but on the other hand its one of the things that makes standing out at Target pretty easy - just do your job with a reasonable amount of effort and it will appear as though you are a golden God in comparison to the high...

Backroom Day hands down - from cashiering to Sales Floor, Plano, Flow and everything in between (even Clinic!) I haven't enjoyed any position as much as backroom day. No guests, no call buttons or phone calls, no cashier backup, very little supervision on most occassions, and permission to...

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the candid ones, even though they are negative. I didn't just fall off the Target turnip truck yesterday, like I said I have over 6 years Target experience now and I am a fairly observant and intuitive person - I've seen all of the things that make...

I've been with Target for over 6 years now - I've created a pretty good reputation for myself. I've been primarily a BR Day TM, but also spent significant amounts of time on Flow, Sales Floor, Presentation, etc. A couple of years ago I was nearing my college graduation and my STL and ETL HR at...

Yeah we (BR Day TMs) used to have to push and pull the CAFs back when they dropped every 2 hours (a practice that ended probably 3-4 years ago) but since the change to hourly CAFs our SF TMs are supposed to push them. Not that ETLs don't constantly ask us to help push them anyway... "Hey I know...

We don't have midday zone. Heck we usually are lucky if we even have more than 2-3 team member on the floor around midday now with the hours crunch. Once every couple of years a new energetic ETL or STL will bring it back but it always fizzles after a month or so. Midday people that are there...

For the past couple of months the hours situation has been such that more often than not the closing team leaves within 15 minutes of store closing, leaving a poor zone and carts of reshop for the opening team to deal with. In fact, the current schedules only have closing sales floor team...
