I don't like that there is no feed back option. Wouldn't you want someone to be able to explain why you got disagree on "what Targets mission is"....
Uh, they don't really want to *hear* what we have to say. That would open the flood gates.

oh good i was worried we were already talking about back to school 2k17
You want to know what the top unsatisfied categories are- No particular order
Communication
Accountability
Compensation
In my last 3 stores these have been as consistent as no equipment on a Monday morning. Once they get the feedback, the most dissatisfied team will be Plano. Even though in a lot of stores they are pampered princesses. Don't get me wrong, I think for the most part they do a great job, but too many of them want you to kiss their ring. Then for 2 months after that you will see everyone over communication, writing everyone up and talking up our benefits. To be honest how about just save the time and money give every an extra penny and call it a day. Im surprised they still have the stones to give the survey right after handing out .05cent raises........And I love how it is "anonymous"! For team members it is. But for Team Leaders you get a damn emailed link! Then if you happen to be a Team Lead that is one of 2 that reports to an ETL, well you can do the math. I would never put anything on there my ETL doesn't already know. I think its a chicken shit move. If your a team lead and you don't have the backbone to let your ETL know how you feel, you're not a leader. Just my opinion folks
My main beef with Target is that there is zero leadership development. Just an ounce of effort in that category can improve accountability and communication.You want to know what the top unsatisfied categories are- No particular order

It's a gauge for DTLs+ to evaluate leadership in stores as it is directly tied to salary raises/bonuses.I don't even know why Spot bothers with the BTS. I know at least at my store...we take it and never hear anything else about it . There was a point in time that we took the survey ...months later the results came back the stl and hr talked about it . Then they came up with a plan and had a "chat session" with the work centers. They went over the wins and opps ( according to the survey). We were able to further voice our concerns. Now, you take it and nothing. What good does it do? Seems to me like its a waste of time .
ETL: dowork, are you going to take the BTS?
dowork: -maniacal laughter- you bet your ass.
LOL.. hit the lowest score for that oneJust took my survey, lol at the "I have the tools and equipment to do my job" question. When our instocks tm can't get a mydevice and our backroom opener can't get a pda we might need more equipment
I'll remember this spiel next time I have a guest wait because I don't have a PDA or MyDevice to look something up for them at GS.I feel like stores are allocated enough equipment to do their jobs. It's up to the stores to educate TMs on how to maintain the equipment so that they aren't lost/broken. My store was allocated 10+ PDAs and 20+ myDevices and when I cared enough about people having that equipment to do their job properly, there was really only ever 1-2 myDevices down, leaving 28+ pieces of equipment to operate with, which is MORE than enough.
I tried getting buy-in from my peers (leadership) about the importance of maintaining them because I wasn't going to do it alone forever. Last time I checked, we had 7 working myDevices, almost perfectly cooordinated (not intentionally) with the BTS.
Based off your store's negligence, you may not have enough equipment to do your job properly, but that's not Spot's fault for not giving you enough. I'm sure at your higher-volume store, you're allocated 40+ pieces of equipment.
I thought the exact same thing. Although I know "That time" is coming soonoh good i was worried we were already talking about back to school 2k17
While it's a nice thought, that raise would probably be less than a penny.I would like to think that corporate would forego the BTS crap (and all the $$$/resources that are used on it) and just give higher pay either via merit raises or via starting wage. That is why people work.

So do we have to take the BTS in TSC? Or can I just borrow the receiving computer so I can take it without half the store's on-duty ETLs and SrTLs eyeing me?
Sorry. Can't justify Target's selection of the apple devices. Sure, Target can supply ample devices, but do they actually *work?*
And, no they don't work -- certainly not well enough to be used as a core resource for 1/2 the team.
EXACTLY! My store was a test store for the My Devices. We saw all the problems that everyone has been experiencing since they went live with everyone. I find it hard to believe that Target didn't get at leas some negative feedback on these POS's. I was talking to a SrTL at my store about the new stackers and this person told me that Target had received loads of negative feedback on them but decided to buy them anyway! So by buying cheap equipment that they know doesn't work all that well, corporate makes it difficult for all of it's stores to complete tasks that require using the sometimes sub-standard equipment that they provide.
