"At Target and especially in the Starbucks Kiosk at a mall it's very hard to be recognized and appreciated for what you do and what you can bring to the table. It also seems like some management give you hours according to how well/not well you up-sell Red Cards rather than 'vibing' with the customer. However the good part about working there is that there are really kind, genuine and hardworking team members who will give you their shirt off their back even if they've only met you once."

Team Member at Target

What do you like about working at Target?

"I like the people I work with. For the most part, everyone's friendly."

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

"Know something about the company. Be prepared to do a lot of work without being paid enough for it."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"Understaffed, everything isn't as straightforward as it should be, training is a mess, can't access a lot of things from the website that you should, website doesn't run on macs."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I have no clue who my manager actually is. I don't know if my team lead is the manager, or if the person above them is the manager. If I were running things, there'd be less acronyms, things would be more straight-forward, training would be a little more involved, cashiers would get walkies, and there'd be more than 2 people closing the fricking store."

What do you like about working at Target?

"Act as if working yourself to death every day would be no problem for you."

"I would make the day-to-day tasks easier to keep up with and try to ensure that each TM is pulling their own weight in the department. Other than that I would try to have more cross-training between departments so others in the store are aware of my area's concerns."

Team Member at Target
in Wenatchee, WA

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."

Team Member at Crossmark

What do you like about working at Crossmark?

"Introducing new products for clients to consumers.The availability to work at other stores if needed. Do not always have to work the same place!"

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

"Simply put DO NOT apply for the Walmart team. In my store we have no support or help from the management staff. Also most of the warehouse people do not help support to us as well."

What don't you like about working at Crossmark?

"The people out in the field is what makes the company successful. And we are often over looked."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Mangement needs to listen to the field workers. We spend more time in the store and know more about the behind the sceens. Do not make this a career choice."
