I'm lucky. I found a much better job that pays so much more and treats me great. They actually hired me because of my personality. I still work at target, very part time.
I have learned so much though. Retail is retail. Everything you buy at target isn't life or death. It's the higher ups that need to look good. Your hard work won't matter if you don't kiss the right ass. You wanna make it, agree to everything. Don't voice your opinions on how things can improve. Don't make work fun. I was someone who busted my butt no matter where I worked. But I'm also opinionated which didn't go so well.
PS. softlines sucks. It only takes one guest to put you behind. They expect miracles. We can't keep people in that area because of the stress, the pay and many other factors. A few years ago, it was much better.
