Does Target hold DC Job fairs at prisons? Our DC has couple prisons near it.

It's ridiculous to meet Target's fulfillment expectations with their flawed strategy and process. First, I question how accurate the trucks from DCs are. As long as I've been with Target, we've had other store's shipments sent in our trucks, wrong DPCIs and countless items missing on top of...

Welcome to TBR! The community is awesome. Knowledgeable, experienced and very supportive. A store full of TBR members would be the dream team of Target. The great thing about TBR is you can come here with all issues & questions and get honest, down-to-earth responses. None of the sanitized...

Listen to all the people who posted here. It is not worth it! By default, this role is a road to failure. Target doesn't have the system, organization, support, or personnel for all but the few lucky ones in this role to be successful. They offered this role to me earlier this year and I...

You must be an executive lead if you are working 15 hour per day. Sorry to heart that. I have been training some of our seasonal TMs and my experience has been the same. Each seasonal seems to be worth about 25% of a normal TM at best. When I look at MPM and greenfield numbers, that's...

Congratulations! I didn't know there was such a thing. Nobody in our store would win haha.

Is it cashiering that you don't want to do or do you not want to work that day? If you don't want to cashier, then try swapping shifts with somebody who has a fulfillment shift. We have loads of people scheduled for fulfillment and half don't want to move their asses at all if they even show...

Glad other stores are doing better. Versus planned number, we're not doing so hot. Foot traffic is about the same as this time last year but our numbers look like fulfillment orders eat into the in-store numbers. Nevertheless we've been struggling with unbelievable turnover and freight...

Our numbers look very Target Red. No surprise with empty shelves, messy store, not enough TMs to get the job done, and lackluster deals. I don't see what competitive advantage Target has over other retailers anymore.

In the nearly 3 years I've been with Spot, we have averaged 2-3 HR ETLs per year. Some were decent people but honestly, all were awful with their jobs. Almost all of them are straight out of college. Having talked to few of them, they had a very different idea of what their job would be...

It seems our inbound TL accepts truck as soon as he senses a truck approaching the store. There must be one of those stupid corporate metric that makes him do that. It's ridiculous. He's even accepted the wrong day's truck because of his auto-accept ASAP mode and we had mass INF issues...

I don't have a team to love anymore. We have had people quit left and right because of the $15 for all pay scheme and the laughable raises given this year. Even if I jump to another department, there are no more teams there either. Is this what they mean by Retail Apocalypse?

Can't speak for SF store but we have such high turnover and callouts that we have similar dilemma that you have with not having enough people to do drive-ups. On very few occasions in the past, we loaned excess fulfillment people who are usually the slowest pickers to help out with drive-ups...

You have a great idea there. An end-to-end order progress dashboard. Progress bar, timestamp and which TMs are active with the order. With how understaffed our store is, we are late on lot of orders and do get inquiries from guest frequently about the status of the order. This leads to...

I hear you seasonaldude. You’re the goose that laid the golden egg. You spoiled your leadership with big numbers and they’ll keep pushing until something breaks. What's it to them? We're all just eight digit number with two zeroes at the front. Several very good fulfillment TMs suddenly...
