    Do ETLs get bonuses?

    Wow if ETL's are only breaking $500-$2,000 in bonuses (that i guess seems a little low from what a regular bonus would be even for annually). At my work, employees get monthly bonuses depending on various metrics. Bonus-wise i would be confident in saying that a employee at my workplace makes...

    Archived Winter (The Holidays) is coming...

    I saw the newest Target Christmas (Holiday) advertisement on TV, but its not even November yet!!!!!!! I can see it now though. Come to Target , doorbusters starting at 10pm Thanksgiving day. Ummmmm I think I speak for all current TM's (though I am a former TM) when I say HELL NO!

    Archived leaving target!

    Congratulations, it always feels good when you know you have worked hard in order to get out of retail into a job where you actually want to/wouldn't mind coming into every day, plus hey if this job is full time w/benefits can't complain there

    Archived Red Card Bull

    Keep dreaming, I tried going the extra mile (or as Target would like to say going the extra inch) in my daily duties but I would only get either a soda or a candy bar here and there. If you asked them for a bonus they would probably say "oh you're so funny, TM's don't get bonuses, we know you...

    Archived Things I have learned since leaving Target

    I will admit when I started this thread, I did lack to mention a few good things that I did take away from my time at Target. It wasn't all that bad, probably much of my bitterness was spending much time in that cold ass freezer lol. But here are the things I took away from Target: 1...

    Archived Things I have learned since leaving Target

    It has been 3 months since I have left Target and so I thought I would revisit where I was and where I am now. So I thought the best way to do this would be to do a comparison the best present the difference. Before doing so I will say that I have only been past my old store twice in the last 3...

    Archived Amazing!!!

    Looks Like I left at the right amount of time. I get incentives now not GTC's (or going extra inch) cards anymore. But then again being the backroom we were hardly ever given GTC's. Sad thing is we would ever now and again write them for each other lol. But I will take my incentives any day over...

    I know how to use one, when I looked up Target, it said "see unnecessary" :)

    Archived Yes! I got to be nasty to a caller!

    I can relate allinone. I work at a call center too, but for a different company. There are certain circumstances in which you can release a call (but those a very few exceptions to the rule). And I have had a couple people curse me out, so it does take a thick skin, but if the situation calls...

    Archived Black friday

    Well said commiecorvus, well said. I used to believe in the whole work/life balance when I worked at Target but after about a year of working for Spot, I learned that it was all complete b.s.! Some nights I felt as if my ETL was saying "you can have a life once all the backstock is done", but...

    Archived The Shops Revisited

    Its been a while since I have heard anything from the "shops" at Target. It seems that since I have been in a Target since leaving the company, that the shops at Target are nowhere to be found (or maybe I am just not looking hard enough). I remember one in particular because it was an endcap...

    Archived Black friday

    As Lewis black said in one of his bits "Thanksgiving doesn't seem to be celebrated, we go straight from halloween to Christmas. In the olden days, or at least when I was a child, Thanksgiving was a time for family to get together and pass out from either overeating or drinking. However, nobody...

    Target Memes

    Gosh, we didn't even have cable when I worked at Target or even rabbit ears, just a tv with a dvd player that played the same dvd's over and over again. Now when I am on break, I can go into the break room with some nice couches and flip on some HBO or some Comedy Central, depends on how I'm...

    Archived who wants commission?

    I am not sure how it is added up exactly, but for my job, we get a certain number of points for selling this product, a certain number of points for overall performance on a call, certain number of points for this and that. Then that is added at a cent number depending on your performance...

    Archived who wants commission?

    So I know electronics is basically mandated to sell attachments. So basically you are wanting them to be a Target Mobile Employee? From what I can remember of an electronics job description, it doesn't say anything about it being a "sales" job. I think people would be more reluctant to get...

    Archived Dress code wars

    So glad I don't have to deal with this anymore. I do understand the reason for red and khaki, with the whole being one team, one voice, etc... However, it has been my experience, you can be a team and not have to all look-a-like. At my new place of work (even though I have been there a month...

    Archived I still have my cellphone discount????

    Not that I know of, I work for a third party company that handles DirecTV accounts (kinda like Target Mobile sells cellphones for different carriers). The only things I get from my new job (ojt is next week by the way) are Free Premium DirecTV service, benefits (which start a few weeks after...
