Target reviews

typical raise is 3 percent, poor management, work culture, fake happiness, lots of hours for most employees.

Target seems to compensate Internal promotees far less than external hires within the same position(s). This may present situations where you are in a much more active or higher volume environment than a peer but bringing a lot less home. Work life balance is a joke with holiday work weeks and preparing the store for rumored 'visitors' (Management). Target is chock full of District and Regional (and higher) bosses that love to make stores scramble from the mere possibility that they may be coming to 'inspect' their store. This burns payroll overnight and at other non-peak shopping times, leaving the shoppers to suffer from reduced help (ie cashiers, floor help. etc...) They seem to blend or altogether eliminate salary level positions in the stores every year to save money. For those in my field. the Loss Prevention program is all but non-existent. Every year payroll hours and positions get slashed, but expectations from above remain the same (ie shrink numbers, Internal/External apprehensions).
