Hi. I started as flow seasonal in October. Just before Christmas I was told I was going to be made permanent and work in a specific section. I had an evening job that I didn't like and wanted to quit but I was worried about hours. They said I would get crosstrained so go ahead and give notice. That same day I tripped over a flat going to backstock in a dark space in the warehouse. I got pretty banged up but the guys got my ice and the manager offered help and sat with me for 15 minutes or so until my shift ended. Since I was still seasonal I didn't miss a minute, didn't miss a day, didn't cost them anything medically because I need this job. That night I did give notice to my other job. The bruises faded after a month but I'm old so the rest still hurts but I do my job. I was even sent to different departments doing things that I was amazed they told me to do but anyway like I said I need the job. That was about 10 weeks ago I'm still waiting to be crosstrained. I'm still waiting to be told exactly what my job is and what I'm supposed to be doing. A few weeks ago my hours changed from morning to afternoon so now I'm on the floor pushing truck, helping guests, doing restock and I was even called to a register but couldn't because of lack of training. When I was going to clock out recently, the ETL and whoever the person that follows her around is, called me over to guest services for a chat. It seems I'm not getting enough of my truck done. I have a section in transitition, plus a lot of repack that usually includes three or four other departments and there's backstock and even the backstock of a phantom tm. I'm over 50 now and have worked for several stores, re-shop was never done like this place. She said it's the most efficient way, doing re-shop for the whole store. The problem is I get stopped because people need help. She did not like it when once I asked if there was somebody that could help a guest that needed things from the back because I'm doing re-shop. I'm just wondering when am I going to get trained. Period. Just in the basics, like what to do in case of a fire? Shoplifter, lost child, attacked.... Other stores we had videos that we had to watch by a certain date from hire..... this job might be the best paid nonmanagement retail I've had but so not what I expected from Target.
