Target reviews

Biweekly pay - You only get paid every TWO WEEKS and even then, the pay is bad. $200 - $400 is all I got every TWO WEEKS! Hours - I was only allowed to work 2-4 days a week. Sometimes they needed me to stay past 9pm, which goes against my travel schedule. Distance. Since I live in Long Beach, that means it takes me 2 and half hours, if not 3 hours, to get to the job on time. I applied for the Long Beach, Lakewood, Cerritos and Signal Hill areas, but the only open position was at Seal Beach. For me, I had to take 2 Long Beach Transit busses and one Orange County bus. Orange County busses don't take TAP cards, so I had to pay $2 per ride just to get from where I live to work. Associates - They're terrible. They're no different than the higher-ups. They casually tell you what to do, they spread thin so they don't help you with assignments when you need it, they laugh and gossip when they should have been working and they're just annoying to be around with. Higher-ups - Just as annoying as the associates. They impede your progress with your task when they say "What are you working on?" or "What are you doing?" or they're not around when you need them. They hardly help any of the associates and just boss you around.

- Unattainable workload expectations. You work 40 hrs a week, sometimes have an 80 hr workload with a zoom call due at the end of the week to verify the work is complete. The official job description says that your Style TL & Style Team Members are supposed to help with VMGs & sets, but in most stores, you are the only one setting because of the low payroll and high turnover rate. I got the help sometimes at my store. - They will pile a ton of other tasks unrelated to visual merchandising to "support the business," such as picking fulfillment orders multiple times a day, having to close the store and rotate weekends with the other leaders, which takes away from your workload hours because it is impossible to set a VMG on a weekend. - If you're a creative person, all your creativity will go to this job. I was drained every single day and all I wanted to do was sit when I got home. While it was fun merchandising, the overall affect on me wasn't worth it.
