$8.75 min wage, making $9.04 now. Cashier for just a few weeks under a year.
 
sr tl logistics 17.91 3.5 years in current role. previous pa/backroom 11.00 1.5years
 
Was ~$8.70 when I was a GSA (before I quit)... Had my 3rd Anniversary then too, almost to 4th.

I am ~$8.60 now as a re-hired Electronics TM


Base pay was $8.50 for those paygrades by the way, making killer money as you can see ;)
 
Here are some wages of my TMs in the DC/MD/VA area.

All stores in district are $62 million a year or higher, most at least 2 levels or former Target Greatlands.

Starting at our store $9.00
Over night $10.00.

Flow TM with 16 years was at $16.23, average for 10 years plus was $13.

6 year Flow TMs hung around $11.35

Flow/BR TLs started near $15.

6 year BR TL was making $16.18.

Day side backroom TM that transfered from CT was bringing in $24 at 5 years - Target fired him quickly.

Sr.TLs start around $18.00.

ETLs start as low as $47,000 up to $72,000+. Lower is for recent college grads while the upper is for ex military or others with management experience.

Average household income for our area is $112,000. Average rent for studio/1 Bd starts at $1100 a month. Anything less would be found in a less desirable neighborhood, aka ghetto.

Don't know how TMs survive on $10 an hour, less than 26 hours in this area. Most on flow had multiple jobs. Y'all are under paid.
 
$10.50 something
BR
Almost 5 years
Minimum wage is 7.25
Started at 8.25, store switched to 6 am, got the dollar. Rest is quarter raises each year.
 
@Mhugh220 it would be interesting for people to post their monthly rent/mortgage along with their pay rate. So we could get an idea of if they get paid enough for their cost of living.

For me: Rent is $450/mo.
 
I pay $300 a month, but am living with my sister-in-law. Looking to move out and trying to find a place less than 750.
 
Mort = 813 (steal) 3brd, 2bth, 1300sq 1qrt arch 2005
Pay = ehhh about double the high average TM (not the highest in the DC pyrimid mind you... : O

But I don't have much money at the end of the month : (
 
For me, average rent for a 2bdrm in my town is anywhere from 1100 in the not so great part of town to 1400+ in the decent parts. Min wage is currently $8, supposed to be going up to $9. And people wondered why I burst into tears when I saw I had 12 hours scheduled one week.
 
$9.28/hr after 3&1/2 years with spot
Started at $8.00(pg3)
$0.18 raise after first review (E)
$0.50 promotion to pg7
$0.29 raise after second review (E)
$0.31 raise after third review (E)
Shortly after I quit, all base pays were raised $0.50. TMs earning more than the new base pay received no raise... So basically, I'd be making 28 cents more than brand new pg7 employees if I were still there. Currently at $17.96/hr with Kroger so I can't complain.
Minimum wage in the state is $7.80
Rent for a 1 bedroom apt is around 850-1050 in the nicer parts of town and 650-850 in the not as nice parts of town

For a 2br apartment here its about 850/900.. in an OK area.. 730 for low income housing..
1BR is like 650-750 depending on the area.
 
Started at $8 hr four years ago, now making close to $11.50 an hour. Former specialist, only one e review, all other reviews higher.
 
When I left almost exactly one year ago I was making 10.99 and had been there 9 yrs. Not sure it I would have gotten a raise or not this year given the dreaded cap. Had gotten an E for review that year even though my team lead thought I deserved better. I started at $7.25 as salesfloor>electronics>price change>instocks.
 
BR 8.71

Looking for my own place now and I have no idea how I'll be able to afford anything other than rent.
 
14.12 GSTL 5 Years.
My Mortage is 1060 a month 4 bed, two bath, 2500 sq ft.
Average cost for an apartment near my store is 750. No idea how anyone survives working just at target.
