    Archived Youngest TL/GSA you've seen?

    I had barely turned 20 when I was promoted to GSA. At 19 I was a glorified FATM because they did away with the FATL position. My store only wants one GSTL, so that's one reason why I'm not there yet. I also don't have the availability for it anyway. School is more important.

    Archived Black Thursday/Friday 2016 War Stories

    Sounds about like my store. I think we will have AP. But it's just going to be me and the GSTL up front. My store did away with the cart attendant position. Salesfloor TMs and TLs now come to the front for "cart blitzes." So I'm not sure how that's gonna work out... We also have slow cashiers...

    Archived Store interns

    Our intern is shadowing our ETL-GE. She seems to be picking up her terrible attitude lately... The girl helps out up front a little, which I appreciate. But there are times I've asked her for help when I really needed it and she basically straight up refused to or made up a quick excuse...

    Archived Firing over not selling enough red cards?

    Yes, company. Not district. And we're already so understaffed that I don't think we can really lose many more people. I really don't know. I've thought about transferring to the other location in town though.

    Archived Firing over not selling enough red cards?

    @Sanzano We were told we're either the worst or second worst in the company. Our store is kind of terrible. :/

    That's just what I was told her position was. I honestly have no idea.

    Archived Firing over not selling enough red cards?

    Our GSTL's job is basically on the line because our store is the worst in the entire company when it comes to RedCards. All of our cashiers are asking every guest that comes in and they educate them too, but no one wants to sign up for one. I was told that cashiers are going to start getting...

    Archived Optical?

    The other Target location across town is getting a new optical center and I've considered applying for a job there since it'd be good experience in the line of work that I really want to pursue: optometry. The problem is I just don't know anything about the optical centers, the positions they...

    Archived How long did it take you to become a GSA?

    This. I could've done it three or four months into working at my location. After 11 months and while considering it off and on the entire time, I finally told them I'd do it since they needed someone. No interview. Basically a week of training altogether and a 75¢ raise, plus the $1 raise to the...

    Archived When were YOU rude?

    I worked FA a lot before I was promoted to GSA. A lot of guests stop at the popcorn machine which is a good ten feet away from the registers. Our second register blocks the view of guests and the machines behind the registers are loud and make it difficult to hear guests. Whenever guests stop at...

    I was told ours are effective today and we'll see them in our May 13th paycheck.

    Archived Rumors that spot will remain open Sunday's until 11

    At my location, we are going to start staying open until 11pm every night starting this summer. The other Target in town stays open until 12 every night.

    Archived I have been at Target for three years, between the Cafe & Electronics, and my pay is less than most.

    I know a woman who has been with the company for 9+ years now who was previously over $10 before reviews, so she didn't get the base pay raisein her review. The base pay went up to $10 for us and now she barely makes more than the new hires. She's pretty upset about it. I, on the other hand...

    Archived Closed

    Been at Target almost a year. Just got my review today. I started out at Food Ave at $9.25. EX with a 41¢ merit raise, $1.00 for the new base pay, and an additional 75¢ for moving to GSA. So I'll be at $11.41/hr. I believe that's a 15.2% increase before the additional 75¢? Overall increase of...

    Archived What's the grossest thing you have ever seen/ found at target?

    We've had several code browns at my store. Once there was a trail from the bathroom to the entrance of the store. Thankfully, I haven't had to clean them up. We've had several dogs poop in our store as well. Working in Food Ave, I clean up lots of drinks every day. There are always old, chunky...
