Target Tampa Reviews

Cons

Be ready to work week-ends and holidays

Cons

Hours cut in the “off” months
No health benefits for part-timers
Too much workload for one person
Management has a do as I say, not as I do philosophy
Productivity driven - “slow” team members get bullied and eventually let go

Cons

Rude customers, no room to move up

Cons

Stressful environment with inadequate pay

Cons

Team member availability is often disregarded, even after months of no change, with TMs who have always had certain days off finding themselves scheduled on those days, and the responsibility of trading those shifts falls solely on them, rather than on the incompetence of HR. Disorganized. There is always a new (usually soon forgotten) policy being implemented, the store is always undergoing construction or renovation. It is easy for executive team leaders (ETLs) to push their responsibilities onto TMs, then hold the TMs responsible for incomplete workloads. Hours are cut constantly, usually for no apparent reason. Over the last two years, many full-time TMs have gone from 35-40-hour weeks to 10-15-hour weeks, even falling as low as 5-8-hour weeks. The good ETLs/TLs are often transferred between departments and stores if they don't quit first. Our current leads are apathetic at best and sycophantic at worst. Team lead promotion is encouraged, with the promise of paid tuition and flexible hours, but this is not the truth - there is not a single TL at my store who has not dropped out of school due to the impossibility of juggling TL hours and class schedules, regardless of opportunities for paid tuition. Last but not least - predatory behavior in our store's STL has been witnessed, reported, and silenced, and the individual involved seems to be protected by association with corporate, whereas victims aren't taken seriously and must either tolerate this behavior or quit.

Cons

Upper management does not give clear direction to the business.
Store level management features a lot of recent college grads who have never managed in their life.
Pay really isn't competitve if you look around at similar positions.

Cons

standing around while cashiering was really hard on my legs

Cons

Leadership has unrealistic expectations as to what can get done in a shift.

Cons

Schedule to work on days/times previously stated to be unavailable

Cons

Harder to move up from team level position.
Do more with less mentality- constantly cutting positions and hours making more work for managers.
Horrible work life balance, salaried at 50 hours a week, often working more.
No long term thought process.
You will be put in positions not based on your skill set but to fill a need.
