Pay Raise

[Kiwi]

Hi all,
I just started working at Target about 2 months ago and I'm wondering if you ever get a pay raise? If you don't become a team lead and just stay a regular team member, is there any way to get a pay raise?

Thanks.

Not for a whole year....unless the minimum wage is raised across the board.

Pay raises come with your yearly reviews which for you will be next spring.

Are store directors able to give discretionary raises outside the performance review season?

Nope. I’ve been with the company a long time and it’s never happened, only at review time.

After 14 years I’m making the same as you 15/hour

I'm sorry. What a disgrace. Greedy ass corporate.



As for OP... "hi all... I've put in a grand total of 150 hours into this company, but can anyone tell me when I should expect a raise?" Fuck outta here with this shit.

That is so unfair. You would think a multi million dollar Corp that is concerned about retention rates, they would “bump” long time hires every time the minimum for a specific job was raised. Reward those that have stayed. No way is it fair that someone seasoned and fully trained should be making the same as a hire off the street.

But, Target isn't concerned about retention rates.

Lots of great team members have quit over the years each time there's a bump in the minimum.

They used to be able to. It’s been a few years since I knew for sure though, so that may have changed.

Long time TMs who work hard tend to work their way up the pay scale & become too expensive to keep around whereas newbies are cheap.
Your best bet for sticking around is mediocrity; that way you've been around long enough to know what to do but your raises are low enough to keep you cheap.

No, but DTLs can. You had better be so awesome your DTL knows your name and face before you even think about asking.

And if you're at that point, odds are they are already eyeing you for TL or ETL positions anyway.

I've been with the company a long time and had this happen 3 times. It did go through DTL and yes, they all know my name because I'm that good.
