I know it is weird to come on here and complain when I actually really like working for Target, but lately it seems like management has no clue what they're doing. I have worked at Target since April 2012. I work on the Flow team. When I first started, it was a month after the remodel... aka the month after they added p-fresh. They had all of the Flow team come over and stock the frozen and dairy (yogurt, cheese, milk, and juice) and then had 3 people stay behind and push the rest of the pallets... (By the way, I really hate it when the FDC puts eggs on the bottom, then stacks a random pallet on top of it, then another random pallet on that.) After about 4 months of the Flow team helping, they stopped sending them over, and the 3 people had to stock all of it... and still do. (It also doesn't make since to me that we bring out new stuff from the truck to push when we still have old stuff in the coolers that need to go out first.) I became one of the 3 people about a month before Flow team stopped helping with the pfresh push. (Currently, I am the point person (sign the paper work and acknowledge the truck) with 2 new people who just started working for Target less than a month ago, because they decided to move one of my original guys to afternoon backroom and the other original p-fresh stocker now only pulls p-fresh auto fills, pushes them, and backstocks our p-fresh backstock when we are done.)
We get the FDC trucks on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and the GM trucks on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Always hop onto the GM truck when we finish pfresh. My favorite day of the week is Tuesdays because all I have to worry about is the GM truck.
Starting May 13th, we are moving to the 6am process (currently at 4am) but they are changing how we do things, and yesterday we started practice. We did push all, left everything in the back of the store, and only pushed one pallet at a time. We had 2 people in the truck and 5 people on the line. 2 people breaking out hanging in receiving with limited space and 2 people out on the softlines sales floor breaking out folding clothes, accessories, shoes, and baby basics. Everyone else pushing one pallet at a time while the truck was still being unloaded... Not bowling, but taking one thing off the pallet, pushing it, then another thing off the pallet, pushing it, until it was all stocked, then 1 person would go back to the line to get another pallet while the other people stood out on the floor looking like idiots.
I wish p-fresh would stay at 4am so we don't interfere with the other truck being unloaded. Unloading 2 trucks at the same time is a disaster.
By the way, having only 4 people in softlines is just stupid. They were still there 2 hours after hardlines flow members left... but if softlines were to finish before hardlines, those 4 people would have to go help hardlines...
