I know target starts hourly pay at $15 but if I came somewhere that payed $16 is it likely they will match the previous pay or will they leave it at $15?

are you coming from a different target with the 16$? If so your pay will stay at 16 . However if you are asking about your store being 15 but a different target being 16 that depends of the area .
For example my target starts at 18 $ but other targets have less , some fact to take in consideration is how hard is to staff that store .
My former Target it’s in a high end area and hard to staff so we always offered more than the targets in the district .
 
Are you coming from a different retailer? If yes then Target will start you at 15 unless it’s a Target that starts at a higher rate.
 
If you a leaving another retail to go to Target I would take your current wage and add AT LEAST 5%.

I am ignoring whether a Target job would be shorter commute or anything like that.

I would never go to another job unless they are paying me more.

What about shift differential? Does target offer that?
 
If you work overnight or before 5:30am. Also, it depends on the store location.

I believe if it is before 5:30 it is only the HOURS BEFORE that time not the whole shift.

Also overnight might only still be a $1 as opposed to a flat percentage.

Minimum of 3 hours on the clock before open or after close. So if store is 8a - 10p, you'd need to clock in by 5a, or clock out after 1a to get it. 5:01... nope. 12:59... nope. Correct on it only being that portion of the shift though. Differentials vary by store, but is still a flat $ not %. Can be viewed on workday.

That's some real BS.

No they will not match your pay at your last job. Starting pay is starting pay for a new hire.

Whatever you’re hearing about how great Target is, is old news from the 90s and 2000s. It is not that way.

Has anyone heard anything about raises? Target just announced what a great profit they made in the last quarter. Just wondering if they are going to be giving the same crappy amounts.
