    If Target really wants “experts” and people that know what the hell is going on, why don’t they hire only full time employees? 40 hour a week people assigned to running each aspect of a department. That way they can specialize and learn the job faster. What does retail have against full time...

    Archived Future TL? “Developmental TL”

    Carrot dangling is Targets favorite way to “inspire the future generations”. From what I experienced in my time at Target promotions come by necessity. You don’t earn a promotion, you simply are the best filler for a role that needs to get filled. Most stores don’t put much effort into...

    For me a text message that takes 1 min to answer doesn’t distrupt my life at all. I’m usually on my phone often anyway.

    I’m a department manager (recently changed from salary to hourly) at another company and I prefer that my assistant managers text me no matter what time it is to keep me in the loop. I even give my number out to my team members if they really need me. I get that some people want “work life...

    Transfer for promotion?

    It’s funny how so many people feel this way across the company. Maybe it’s just a Target thing to tell people you will promote them then lead them on forever haha. If you don’t want to transfer then apply at another company I’m sure you will get the job.

    Archived Getting Fired

    3 NCNS in a row is auto termination. Other then that it’s just having enough that your manager hates you and wants to write you up to get rid of you. Not sure if there is a specific number.

    I am an assistant store manager at a Grocery Retailer. Essentially an ETL but most stores don’t use “executive” as a title for store level employees. The skills that got me this position were all learned at Target/in my own time. I promoted 3 times in team member roles. I also cross trained into...

    Lol welcome to shit show Target politics. They are stringing you on and lying to you. I got tired of it and left, it took one day for me to land another job paying double what I made at Target.

    Archived ETL rejection email

    You didn’t get the job. Just move on. It was annoying when I was HR and people asked why they didn’t get the job as if they could just walk into any interview ever and be handed a job. If you didn’t clear your interview or they picked someone else just move on.

    Archived Switch areas or work up to team lead?

    I became an HR team member and it benifited me greatly, but I never became a TL. When I went to interview at other jobs though the HR role was super beneficial to talk about as well as having that title for a resume. Target tends to lead people on and make them think they are the next TL. I was...

    How should I quit?

    Your parents are irresponsible. Good luck building a career if you’re just going to dip out last minute from a job. Target might not be your long term career goal but your first job is where you learn important life skills.

    Archived Would You Lead As A Favor?

    I led without being a team lead. Target will lead people on forever with out giving you the promotion. I left to another company and they gave me the equivalent of an ETL position. My experience leading teams got me that job, I didn’t need a silly title from Target to work at another company...

    If you wanted the job you should have shown up on time. Now it’s harder for everyone including your self.

    Archived A GSA’s dilemma: don’t know which route to take

    I don’t know how it is in your store but at my store I wouldn’t believe a word they said. They lie constantly and say you’re next in line or that you will be a manager soon. The fact that they aren’t working with you to get it official (benching) is concerning. I say mention that to them. Say...

    Archived Secret shoppers

    Has anyone experienced secret shoppers at Target before? I’ve never interacted with any in the past but this month I’ve came across two. Is this to check if we are following the new selling guidelines? Side note, this is not district managers in plain clothing. They are regular every day...

    Archived Why did target fuck over the GSA position so much?

    Target rarely ever promotes people internally. I know one person similar to that and they only moved up due to connections.

    Agreed. Worst management I’ve ever seen, no one knows what’s going on it’s funny to watch.
