Target Reviews in Sacramento, CA Area

Pros

The little things they do for the employees.

Cons

Customers just like anywhere you could work.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work.

Pros

training provided was very thorough at first, coworkers were well chosen and made it worth going to work everyday, the work atmosphere was fresh and inviting, Target's overall reputation gave employees a sense of pride.

Cons

since this Target was brand new, the management was very shaky and unprepared as were the team leads. continuously facing organizational problems that would impede on daily work life.

Advice to Senior Management

though I have no sense of howt other Target management operates, I feel this could have been greatly improved upon for a start-up store.

Pros

co workers are nice

ok benefits

Cons

crappy pay for the amount they want us to do

so much favoritism not even funny

you have to kiss ass to get anywhere

you cant swap shifts

good luck transferring if you want to thats a joke

upper management gets the big bonuses at the end of the year and team members get jack

they spend more money on the public then they do on there own employees

they support political candidates

Advice to Senior Management

why dont you guys try this on for size and actually listen to what your employees are so unhappy about and fix it

Pros

Once you get hired and pass three month review, it's almost impossible to get fired. Even if you're a slacker.

Cons

Switching shifts is a good way to get an unreliability tag, regardless of if you work the same amount of hours scheduled or not. Schedules are hard to change, which isn't good if you're a student, and hours are subject to change without notice. Example: cashiers began getting a 3.25 shift so that Target would not have to give them breaks or lunches. Some managers like to stir unrest in team members and pit them against each other.

Advice to Senior Management

My suggestion would be to judge workers on job performance, not clocking in on time. Both are important, but if team members always clock in on time, their job performance isn't being reviewed.

Pros

-friendly environment
-good work team
-request change of hours through the target website
-tasks fairly simple and straightforward
-team members assist you when you need help
-work independently

Cons

-minimum wage
-can be boring sometimes
-management didn't really praise you
-sometimes there weren't anything to do

Advice to Senior Management

Management should really reach out and help the newbies, and be supportive. Without the proper support, employees can easily feel left out and unenthusiastic about their job.

Pros

I'm in college and they were very open in working around my school schedule and my extra curricular activities that i was involved in
