Hey team,
So I recently found myself in the position of coming back to Target after a long time gone (5+ years) and boy has it changed. What was once a store that had team members stocked in every zone, team leads for most zones, and a bustling number of ETL's has now slimmed down to 4 ETL's (not including the STL) and shrunk the lead staff by what feels like half. I don't even know that there's the standard sales floor grid isn't even there anymore.
I was hired for sales floor, but worked all cashier shifts (about a week) and didn't remember having to do that before.
Has a lot changed with how stores are run?
I'm having trouble finding anyone who can speak to the changes (why?), or what's changed (corporate level) and it's just...really confusing being back.
I remembered Target as being one of the most fun places I had ever been employed. I met my wife there, had a ton of friends who worked there, and just really enjoyed the atmosphere.
I don't know if it's just having all of the team members be different, or the drastic "overhaul" feeling that the store has...but it really doesn't feel like the happy place I left.
Do any other stores have this melancholy feeling? Is there anyone else here that returned after some time and were left feeling like it was...lacking?
Thanks for listening.
