Target reviews

Moving to Minneapolis from NYC was a bit difficult. Much of the people who work there are very passive aggressive and they pretty much only like you if you're social rather than working hard. Most of my team members would go out of there office and constantly shop at the Target store attached to our building (awful store btw) and would work half of the time. Most of the people in the office talk behind each others back and they don't let people into their "group". I would say it's even harder if you aren't from Minnesota. The people I ended up working the best with were people that were from out of state (Chicago, KC, Denver, NYC, Boston, LA, etc.). We all have expierenced similar experiences. To be honest, working at Target HQ is very much like High School. The pay is also pretty awful. For a job right out of college, maybe a good fit, but if you're trying to build a career with this company, look elsewhere. I truly believe though that this company has a "Minnesota Nice" mentality which is completely fake and passive aggressive. I've worked in two other cities, and It's really hard to explain if you haven't worked or lived in Minnesota. Just remember that when you arrive.

Working as a cashier, at least at the Target I worked at, there was a lot of pressure from the Team Leaders to get customers to sign up for Red Cards. I don't think it's unfair for them to ask us to tell each customer about it, but being held accountable for whether they sign up or not made it feel like more of a sales job than a cashier job. It felt like every other shift I was pulled to tell me that I wasn't getting enough, and I was once told I may be fired if I didn't start getting more.
