new employee

Hello Everyone! I worked for Target for about four years until 2005 as a team member, specialist, and team lead. Over the past decade I've worked for a few other retailers as a specialty store manager, district manager, and most recently as a big box general manager. I've wanted to come back for...

Hey all. Started at spot back in November as a seasonal employee on the overnight flow team. Found this site then looking for info on what to expect for orientation and just kept coming back. Finally decided to create an account and contribute since I'm staying on as a regular employee. Be...

Okay so i have worked at target for over a year in softlines, usually ready to wear. Only one to finish my zone every night finger spaced every rack and all reshop cleared usually sent to other zones . (Mind you we are a high volume store and biggest softlines section in my state) . I am...

I am a seasonal hardlines team member and I've working here for about a month and a half. This is also my first job ever and was hoping to get hired on, so I have been working really hard. The other day I was walking by the STL's office and the STL called me in. The STL and SrSTL were...

Hey people Decided to finally post since I've been lurking for so long. I've been with target near two years now, global logistics, mainly backroom, and now SFS when we rolled out a few weeks ago. I've actually gotten a lot of help from browsing the forum the last couple years, especially...

I had my first day of training (and first day of working ever) for hardlines the other day and it was way more stressful than I thought it would be. I felt like I let my trainer down, but I wish they would have repeated things over and over (because I was so nervous and would blank out) and...

Hey I have a been a lurker for a few weeks now and will be starting my job at Target Nov 1st as a seasonal worker in hard lines. This is actually my second time working for Target with it being my only job the first time and this time around just a part time job. I have loved this forum so far...

Hey peeps! Been a lurker since I started what'll soon be three months ago in a few weeks. I'm a cashier (or glorified guest punching bag lol) and so far, I'm really happy there. My leadership is great and my co-workers are pretty chill. Of course there are always nightmare days to be had, but...

Hi all! I'm glad this forum is here, it's been a wealth of information already! So, I was just hired as a Seasonal Cashier (my orientation is early Nov.). I used to work at a grocery store years ago, and I have a full-time job now, so this is a second job to make some extra money, as well as...

Ive worked here almost 2 months and just stumbled upon this site, others have worked here longer and havent even heard of this site.

Hello, I was just hired over the weekend as a seasonal cashier and I'm so excited to start. I was wondering, how long after being hired will I get the call about when orientation is? I'm just so excited I can't wait lol. Also, since I'm 17, I got a work permit from my school today, and I was...

Hi everyone! I was invited to one of the hiring events today, and I had 2 interviews and got an on-the-spot seasonal job offer for Cashier! I'm excited! Orientation is in a few weeks. I haven't worked retail in, like, 13 years so it should be interesting! It's nice to know that there's a site...

Hello. I have received a seasonal part-time position this holiday season as an associate on the sales floor in hardlines. I start in a couple days. I have some questions I would like to get answered without having to ask them at the store. #1 - Do I get paid for the orientation that I just...

I had my Orientation yesterday and begin training for cashier on Monday! This is my fourth job - first one after graduating college (in which I was super involved) - and I’m feeling pretty good about it. I’ve never worked retail, before, but I’m going in it with a positive attitude. I’ve been...

hi everyone, I'm 16 and I just got a job at Starbucks in my local target. I already went through orientation and today I have cashier training just for today and after that its just going to be Starbucks anyway, I was wondering what should I wear and *stupid question* should I clock in or well...

Hello there! Aside from just starting at Target, I just recently joined the forum! Anyways, I already went through orientation and just recently finished my first day of work/training. The team member who did help me was great and answered a lot of my questions, but I did have a few others. I...

Hi everyone! I just got done with my first phone interview, hopefully I get the job! I know I probably jumped the gun on registering here without being an actual team member, but I think lurking these forums really helped me prepare. Fingers crossed HR calls me to set up an in-person interview. :D

Hi! I've been reading here for a few months, about as long as I've worked at spot. I have definitely learned more here about a lot of things than I have at work. Thank you to everyone here for that! So I'm a few months into the job on plano. It's hard work and there is a lot of pressure but...

Ok so I recently interviewed at target last monday. Got an offer for electronics . I have since received two emails one stating I had orientation on ocotober tenth then another with more details like telling me what to wear and to remember to bring in my documents . The last email told me to...

Hey y'all. I'm DJ. I just started as a cashier about 3 weeks ago and feel like I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I received basically no training and was just put immediately on a lane. That being said, I feel like I'm doing fine, but I definitely don't feel comfortable with it yet...
