new employee

Some background: I'm a month into my job as a Cashier - the first two weeks I was on the learning plan and only worked 4 hours shifts, with a total of 16 hrs per week. Then, for the past two weeks I've worked 40 hour weeks - with usually 8 hour shifts. When I was hired I checked part time, and...

Hello everyone! As my topic says, I am a former TM, and a long-time lurker. I was hired by Target in 2011, and it was my first job. I participated in a planorama then. In my most recent situation, I have been terminated as of 2016 (at no fault of my own), a month before the close of my most...

Flow checking in! This site has been really helpful for learning how to do things well.

New HRTM here. Come say hi! Been with Target for a few years now and always looking to expand my Red and Khaki family! :)

Hello! I've been lurking awhile, and finally made a post so thought I'd add in an intro also. Been with spot about two years, minus 4 months I escaped, but ended up getting pulled back in. Depending on the week, I am instocks, electronics, backroom, sales floor, presentation, or cashier. I did...

So I just got a conditional job offer today, pending my background check. I'm the kind of person who needs to be told what to do. My interviewer today said that would happen sometimes. He said yeah, you may sometimes come in and ne told to do this, then this, then that, in order. Ok, sounds...

Hi everyone, I don't actually work at Target (yet) but I did apply online to be a seasonal worker. I joined the forums because I wanted to ask if you all had any advice for the interviews, day to day operations, etc.. I think it's really cool that you all get together and discuss how work goes...

Newbie flow team member saying hello. Thank you for this site. It has been a godsend during these my early days. Unbelievably helpful. Spot should be *paying* for it, not trying to shut it down or moaning about it. In actual practice the concept of "training" appears to be a whimsical notion...

Fairly recently my hours have been steadily getting cut back (my new schedule I literally have 4 hours!). I have been asking for any hours the store can spare & was happy when the store HR offered me two closing shifts. I took them without hesitation assuming they would be sales floor hours. I...

I was hired about a week ago, and there was an orientation a couple days after that but it was too soon for me to be in that one which I understood. So they told me there was one on the 7th and they were going to wait for HR to confirm. I called them today because I hadn't gotten a call from...

Hey guys, so I have orientation on the 21st and was wondering what to expect . I got hired on for soft lines in apparel , and they also want to cross train me for Starbucks. I was told mornings but no hours , any clue how the morning stocking hours are? I have no experience in retail so this...

Greeting team members! New hire for the bike building gig here at my local store. Still in training only been few days but things may be looking good as they asked me if I was interested in the PMT position! Let see what happens! Go go spot!

Saw this and thought to share Guy Documents His First Week Of Work At Target And It’s Amazing

Hello there. I just started at my local Target the 2nd week of August. I've been cross-training mostly for Starbucks, as well as register. I must say, so far, this has been the most stress-free first month of work I've ever had in a retail job. I'm sure crappy days will happen, I've done...

Hi I am new here and to Target itself. I actually have a few questions. I was "hired" by HR and approved of by the STL. I was scheduled for orientation and went this past Thursday. Orientation included watching a short video as well as giving HR our driver's licenses and social security card to...

I want to know if not getting done what me and my partner were supposed to get done is going to affect how many hours I get in presentation going forward. We were assigned a ton of pogs and we probably should have split them instead of working together especially since this Tm has he reputation...

Hey everyone! New team member here, currently going through training. I have a mound of questions that I'd like to ask. So if it's not too much to ask I'd like as much help as I can get since it's my first job :) I'm not in any rush for answers either so take your time please if you're willing...

Hi, how's it going? Newly hired as a Starbucks Team Member. I've got a few questions! I went to see HR today. She went over pay, background-check and orientation. One: For orientation, are these the appropriate apparel and things to bring? Wear Black Top Khaki Pants/Joggers Closed-Toe...

Hey guys so im pretty new to this and i just needed a place where people understand where im coming from. Im also new to Target and has it ever happened to you that you're zoning and your LOD keeps pressuring you or constantly bugging you for "how long is it going to take to finish C-D block"...

Hi everyone! I had my interviews yesterday, and I got my call for orientation starting on Monday! I'm pretty excited to be joining the Target team! I was previously a 10 year retail veteran at an Unnamed National Competitor, so I know retail ropes pretty well. Obviously things will be a little...
