Target has been good to me since I came back, but I'm not happy about my review score or raise. My raise was something like 40 cents, which for me is just north of 2%. I was told that the percentage is low due to two reasons. One, pro-rating out for a full year (which, if you actually do the math, it still stinks). And two, and this is the real slap in the face, because "You already make near the top of your pay grade, so there's not as much room for your wage to grow."
Oh really? So because I was hired on as someone with experience, and I negotiated a higher starting wage, despite the fact I've absolutely killed it during my 9 months in role... I just don't deserve a solid raise because, hey, I already make "a lot". I'll be honest, I do make a decent wage, especially for the majority of TL's here with less than a year at Target. But I also have my Bachelors degree and now nearly 7 years of experience in the field of Loss Prevention/Assets Protection. I'm not exactly a pup here 😉
