    Archived Limited to 5 Shifts Per Week?

    I was scheduled for 5 shifts for next week and I picked up an additional cashier shift on one of the days I was off. It has not been added to my schedule online, however. Just wondering how this works. I know that technically we cannot go over 40 hours per week, but I don't know if there is a...

    Archived What do the sales floor team members do

    At my store, sales floor does the usual stuff that has already been mentioned in this thread. They are also expected to do their own pulls (because backroom gets annoyed if you ask them to help you with a pull for a guest), back-up constantly (our store is severally understaffed in cashiers)...

    Archived Team Member Applying for ETL, Application Question

    Trust me, I've been looking for a position in my field since I graduated with my bachelor's over a year ago. I wouldn't be working as a team member at Target if the job market wasn't so horrible right now. I'm going to talk to the ETL-HR at my store tomorrow night and then see what she has to...

    Archived Team Member Applying for ETL, Application Question

    I just got my master's degree and have been working as a regular team member for a year. I talked to some team leads and ETLs about rising up in the store and they have told me that I should pursue it, but they didn't really say anything about me applying but rather just getting the training for...

    Archived Sales Floor Hours Cut in Favor of Backroom

    Yes I meant closers, although I NEVER get scheduled before 5pm anymore so it seems like there is no sales floor coverage at my store before 5pm. Maybe they schedule just one person before 5pm and I haven't noticed.

    Archived How Does Vacation/Sick/Well-Being Hours Work?

    Based on that chart, I should have 20 vacation hours and 30 personal holiday hours, but I have 0 for both categories. I guess I need to talk to HR.

    Archived Sales Floor Hours Cut in Favor of Backroom

    At the beginning of the year, sales floor hours were cut drastically and extra hours were given to backroom for working on push. Now, sales floor team members come in usually around 5pm (before we used to come in around 2:30pm or 3pm) and we just work on zones and reshop. Not having to do push...

    Archived How Does Vacation/Sick/Well-Being Hours Work?

    Can someone explain to me how I accrue vacation, sick, and well-being hours? I have worked for Target for one full year but have not accrued any hours. I have called out a few times and had to take some days off (including a whole week off for a family vacation about a month after I was hired)...

    Archived Time and a Half on Memorial Day?

    Does anyone know if we get time and a half for working Memorial Day? Also, is there a list somewhere of all the holidays in which Target pays us time and a half? Thanks.

    Archived Being Scheduled Outside of Availability

    Oops I meant to put this in the General Target Chat forum. Can this be moved or deleted? Thanks.

    Archived Being Scheduled Outside of Availability

    So I was scheduled on a day outside of my availability, and I had to call out because no one took my shift (I put it up on the swap-shift board 2 weeks in advance). I was given a talking-to by the LOD on the phone because "my availability needs to work for both me and Target" but I'm a student...

    Archived Black Friday 2015 War Stories

    This is my first year working at Target, let alone retail, so I was worried I was going to be a horrible time working Black Friday. Luckily, they didn't schedule me overnight so I only worked a closing shift on Friday. It wasn't as bad as I thought, and the lack of PDAs and walkies at my store...

    Archived Back-Up Rant

    The other day, one of the LODs complained that I did not respond to back-up, even though I was busy helping a guest at the time. Then he complained later when I didn't respond to back-up and walked away from me while I was explaining that my break was in less than 5 minutes. Can't stand this...

    Archived 90 Days Almost Up. What Happens Next?

    My orientation was June 12th, so my 90 days will be September 12th give or take a few days, right? I'm scheduled to work up through September 19th. So I guess I'm in the clear.

    Archived Do you guys ever feel stressed out about zoning?

    To the OP, I completely understand where you're coming from. My 90 days are almost over, so I'm stressing whether or not they're even going to keep me because I always zone so slow. One LOD in particular always tells me to "pick up the pace" even though I work as fast as I can every single day...

    Archived 90 Days Almost Up. What Happens Next?

    My first 90 days will be up in about a week. No idea what to expect. Some ETLs like me while others are indifferent to me. There have been complaints about my speed (I'm too detail-oriented when zoning) and I'm sure the other people who I started out with look better in the eyes of the ETLs...

    Archived What call button do you cringe at the most?

    I am laughing so hard at this. I've only been working at Target for 2 weeks, but that automated voice is ingrained in my mind and I find it so funny for some reason.

    Archived Unorganized ETLs and Other Complaints

    I'm definitely not in the wrong for giving up the shift. According to my schedule, my last day of training was yesterday, so how was I supposed to know my shift today was still training and that I'm not allowed to give it up? The person who led orientation made it clear that we can give up...

    Archived Unorganized ETLs and Other Complaints

    You just reminded me of something else that happened today. They were constantly calling for backup at the registers and I kept answering but like WTF all I wanted to do was finish the pushes that I was assigned. As soon as I walked away from the registers and made it back to where I left my...
