Target reviews

Super high turnover rate. WAY overworked. Most days I was the only person staffed at the registers! Because of this, I had to do the workload of at least 3 people. Checking out guests/alcohol sales, processing returns, preparing drive-ups, doing go-backs and defects is too much for one person to do when the store was as busy as it was. I had to do all of this for 8 hours until someone showed up to take my place for the evening shift. I went home every day exhausted and wanting to cry. It was also clear that everyone I worked with was also exhausted and constantly wanted to quit. Not because they were giving up, but because they felt exploited and underpayed, and they were sick of it. The managers tried to say that it was because our location was understaffed. To me it was obvious that the pay was too low/benefits nonexistant for anyone to want to apply or work here.

- your experience (in store or as a BP) is very dependent upon who your leader is - Target, like most companies, is a VERY political culture - work life balance is practically non existent. Minimum 50 hour work weeks (5, 10 Hr days) although most weeks I put in 65-80 by the time I was done and often walked away feeling it wasn’t enough - burnout culture - operational performance outweighs many “putting people first” aspects of the business - stores are expected to run on bare minimum resources (ie payroll) and store leaders often have to step in and function as team members
