Target Tampa Reviews

Cons

Normal customer service things (guests are rude), sometimes managers forget your breaks

Cons

Unrealistic expectations
Poor management
Always asked to stay longer than shift length

Cons

Management does not treat employees well. They do not appreciate "underlings" and like to play manager instead of managing by example.

Cons

Long days when on flow team because of lack of other employees. Most hire ups have favorites and don't help with the work load. Raises were pathetic. Cents on the dollar. If you make them mad at you because of whatever they will cut your hours. You are replaceable and they know that. Insurance is horrible. High deductible even when you have the best plan. No paid time off. You have to acquire your vacation time. There is no holiday days off. Company is open every day of the year besides 2. Christmas and Easter. Having to come in on Thanksgiving every year was very upsetting.

Cons

Random changes in protocol and procedures. Changes in management, new managers are not trained well.

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.
