I have had it.
After four years I am at my wits end. Started out well and I loved my job, but last year I transferred to another store and things have been sliding downhill ever since.
This place is nothing more than a high school. Run by a bunch of sexist women who have driven off more decent people than they have managed to retain.
The one that got me to really take a long hard look was when a fellow TL wanted to move up to senior. He was well qualified and knew Target inside and out. They told him that he needed a degree in order to be a SRTL! Then three weeks later they hire a woman off the street with no retail experience and NO DEGREE to fill the SRTL position. Since then I have watched them pass up men and hire women for once vacancy after another. If you are a blonde haired woman between the ages of 23 and 30, you can get a job here as an ETL or TL. All others need not apply. Only guys I have seen come in are transfers like myself.
Now because I am not part of the ETL/TL cheerleader squad I am left out of many important announcements and other information. Then they try and coach me for information I was never given. My ETL drinks 3-5 energy shots every morning and then gets upset with no one is bouncing off the walls the way she is. I swear she is on more than energy drinks the way she acts. I tell her something and she does not hear it, then gets after me for not communicating.
This is the same ETL who warned me about paying attention during a conference call. Then during the call, she is texting and playing games with another ETL across the table.
Argh!
Got a couple apps in and I am sure to get at least a couple offers with my experience. Cannot wait to get outta here. They can hire another cheerleader to take my place.
