Target Employee Reviews for Team Member

What do you like about working at Target?

"They have excellent benefits until next year for all their applicable employees. The people that you work with on a day to day basis, depending on the department, can quite easily lead to friendships for life."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do not apply for management unless you either know the interviewers or are too young to know better, the game is rigged against anybody who is not in the system."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"You are going to run into strict rule following to the point that you have never thought of. One thing you will learn early on at Target is that the company rules are far more important than any situation changes. Some anecdotal evidence here: Recently a $1000 TV was destroyed because it had a scratch and we were not allowed to lower the floor model price lower than 10% even though 20% would have been enough. Disabilities are not something that they know that they have an obligation to meet with reasonable accommodation. There are hundreds of stories and lawsuits out there against Target because of this. Your ability to move up depends on them liking you. They have interviews with you and go over how you answer their questions and it is entirely subjective. Those that they like are moved up quickly, sometimes well beyond their abilities would allow, and those that they don't are not moved up at all. If you do not interview, well then you are doomed because they refuse to take anything else into consideration. The number of incidents that I have witnessed because of this is beyond the scope that this review would allow."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Make the amount of hours that are spent on the salesfloor independent of the hours of the rest of the store and stop penalizing stores for taking back returns that have nothing to do with the store, a ratio would be fair tool for team members to work with because it is easier to understand. It makes no sense to penalize your customers if you cannot find a person who can be trained to stock well. It makes your customers and employees feel safer as the number of people in the store increases. Employee appreciation needs to be expanded. I have never worked for a company that works so hard at making its employees feel appreciated yet fail so hard. Handing out hundreds of great team member cards every week just destroys the value of them."
