Target reviews

Definitly a cult of personality. Far to much weight is put on your personality and "bubbliness" versus your actual job skills. With so much movement between pyramids, many managers don't have the technical skill sets for jobs they are given. Working at Target feels like being in middle school. People (even male managers) gossip constantly and there are mine fields of cliques to navigate. Be prepared that any feedback you give (personal or technical) will be turned around as a criticism of you. There is no black or white, only grey that you have to market yourself through.

Target used to be a great place to work. They put up a great disguise but they truly are no better than Walmart. Employees hours are constantly cut. They run a whole store on very little payroll. One person does the job of 5. Before Covid we had a much better job and help. Since Covid they have continually used their employees to make up for whatever “bonuses” they gave us. There’s never a time where you’re told what good you’re doing. You’re only constantly being told what’s wrong. They give very unrealistic goals. Expect to walk 20 miles a day. Expect for your boss to cut corners in any way possible. Expect to be extremely over worked. Drive ups are up to 300 a day and that doesn’t include the 100 who come to the desk to pick up. If your team does great then they will only get their payroll cut because they know they can get by on minimal workers doing the job of many. If you’re there for part time and are a student or just making extra money then only give them the minimum required. Your next will not get you a raise or accolades. You will not see a raise worth anything. Once a year you will get anything from 3 cents to 35. It’s a huge smack in the face. New employees make the same rate as people who have been there 15 years.
