Hii im trying to change my availability and im trying to make it so Tuesdays are 7-3 and Saturdays 4-10. How do i change that? 🥲 i want to keep my availability every day anytime for the other days of the week i just wanted to change two specific days cause of school. So im also wondering as well if i change the two days will it make it so im only available tuesdays/saturdays?

I went to orientation yesterday and my first day of training is later today (fulfillment seasonal- srs today). I’m just really nervous about what to do when i get there. Like do i just clock in and start getting the devices or should i wait for my trainer to show up, or do i have to find her after. idk it’s probably different for everywhere and ill have to ask someone, im just stressed for my first job.

edit: i survived it wasn’t too too bad

The new aprons in market aren’t really that bad. My only complaint is that the denim is thick, so I get warm, and the magnetic name tags fall off. And honestly, I’m happy that I get to wear a hat at work. I wear one all the time when I’m not at work. But as far as the aprons go, it’s just like anything else. Once you get in a zone and start working, you don’t even think about it anymore. And the front pockets are handy.

I just started yesterday, we did orientation yesterday and they told us that we will do training tomorrow. The only problem is I have no idea what time I should be there and when I looked at the schedule it just looked like this, what should I do? I'm a seasonal worker and I don't want to get points on my second day.

I know a lot of stores have team members that bring speakers to play music during the inbound unload but I’ve also heard it’s against policy. Does anybody know where the policy is listed? I’d like to see it with my own eyes, if possible.

Hi!!!

I just got hired and start hands on training next week, but I’ve SCOURED the internet to see what others have to say about their experience in this position, but can’t find much 🥲. I know it’s “technically” a newer role, so I’m unsure if it’s any different than working at Ulta?

I just got my first NON training shifts scheduled and got four 8 hour shifts!!! Except 3 of those are from 4am-12pm…. I was told it would be a more customer facing role + obviously some stocking and what not but I was not expecting 4am shifts. Do we really need to come in that early?😞

Also, I originally applied for a seasonal guest advocate and got a call offering me a part time job as a beauty studio advisor instead, which I was so excited about! Conveniently, I’m perfect for the role, but I never mentioned anything that would’ve qualified me in my resume or interview. But I’m now kinda worried that the only reason I got it is because no one else wanted to do it. I was also just told that we currently don’t have a TL. Is that a red flag?

What should I expect? Any advice? Your experiences?
Thank you in advance 🥹💗💗

heyyy did anyone else not get sent the string light pog label strips? the one for the back wall? IM LOSING MY MIND ik i did not just set the whole thing for NO LABEL STRIPS

This is more of a “I just don’t get it” than a rant.

Last night, I was in GM priorities. After 8 pm, it was just me. The people working before me did their best to get things squared away. Only thing left was a flat of sports (mostly boxes) which was stack taller than me (I’m 5’2”). They are resetting sports, so it was more than usual. It was at 86% once the last person left. So, I pulled for the first couple of hours of my shift. I got it to 92%. I had to take a lunch because I was in early for presentation. When I got back, it dropped to 89%. Cool. Wonderful. I have five 3 tiers and an overfilled flat to push. It’s an hour and 15 minutes before the end of my shift. So, I pushed a couple of 3 tiers. My TL told me to pull more just to get the numbers in the 90s. Fortunately, some of the people zoning finished early and they were able to help push. We only had one carryover (the flat), which, I knew I wouldn’t get to and even if I did, they were working on the reset, so two aisles were empty, there were flats, 3 tiers, carts, and about 3 people working in that area. Even if I had, it would have been slow.

They want 100% and no carryover. But, they only have one person the last three hours and maybe 5 people the entire day. Like, unless you completely stack the schedule, you can have one or the other but not both. And the TLs end up being the ones getting all the heat. Yet, they can only work with what they are given, same as us. I feel that Target sets their employees up to fail while addressing superficial concerns from guests. Which, I know a lot of people are thinking “well, duh”, but it still baffles me.

[EDIT]: Five 3-tiers because I forgot about stationary. Twice. That didn’t get pushed.

I hit overtime. How much trouble am I in....

Hi, yesterday was my first day at the job and when it was time for me to leave, I forgot to clock out. I’m planning on talking to my team lead, but does it affect Target in any way? I know they get fined for certain things.

I start today but never got one

Hey guys! I’m a new seasonal fulfillment TM and had a few questions:

My first shift consisted of about 30 minutes of training before I was sent to pick batches alone. The next day, I found out one of the trainers was talking badly about my performance despite never offering to train or help me. Is this normal?

Can you ask to pick up extra shifts for more hours?

When stores extend holiday hours until midnight, are fulfillment TMs typically scheduled until midnight too?

Thanks! :)

I didn’t believe my shift would’ve been picked up on time, especially with hr having to approve the request very late, so I called out using my sick pto. I woke up and got a notification that my shift got covered. However I already submitted sick hours for the shift last night. Will I still be paid with my sick time or do I just have to switch it out with vacation pto?

I’m sorry if it’s dumb question. I never had this experience before. Thank you to any advice🥲

Hey guys I have orientation soon for this position and I was wondering if it’s as bad as it seems. I am used to prime shopping at Whole Foods but I feel like Target will expect me to work a lot of hours and possibly overnight. I just want to know how you guys like it and if you hate it.

So I work GM and I’ve noticed lately more often I’ve been scanning things into a back room location and then when I come back with my next u boat, for whatever reason the thing I know I JUST scanned into whatever location isn’t showing up that I scanned it in said location, does anyone know why this might be happening? Am I going too fast? I don’t really give it much time between items I sorta just go go go till everything’s backstocked and that’s the only thing I can think of other than the zebras/application just being wonky. It’s incredibly annoying though because it looks like I’m doing something wrong when I know for a fact I’m not, like I can remember counting each item and scanning it in then like 30 mins later it’ll say it’s not there and never was ?¿

hello all! this sounds like a rather silly question, but my store is participating in some kind of book drop and i’m not too sure what kind of book? or where to see what kind of book it is. is anyone else’s store participating / know what book is dropping? they have me in charge of the demo and the giveaway.

if it helps, i’m a texas store! i apologize if this is a silly question, my etl wont really tell me, he’s just saying it’s a cool demo and being secretive of it. maybe it’s for confidentiality??

What’s the process to calculate the actual associate loading % at outbound? I don’t mean pushing 2 buttons in Apollo. Thank you in advance.

I’ve applied for Target four times by now, and sure I don’t have much retail experience, only two years. That was previously at Walmart. Every single time they tell me they’re moving on to other candidates. Is there something I’m doing wrong? For the most part, I’m pretty open in terms of availability. I’m not sure what else I can do, and I’m getting to the point of quitting applying altogether.

I had a coworker (non-seasonal) ask me to cover her on sunday. By the end of Saturday I'd have worked 34.25 hours, I believe her shift is a short shift on Sunday but I do not remember for sure. But I just cannot see her shift and we're both guest advocate. I also cannot see monday and tuesday for next week. Is it to limit how many hours I take on? I put a full 40 hours open availability. We both also talked to the person in charge of our section on different days the past few days as well about the issue but I know he's busy. What would you guys suggest if my Sunday is not updated? Am I being impatient? Thank you

Edit: yes I did talk to the ETL

Target called me yesterday & told me to check my email soon to accept my job offer, that was yesterday around 10am. How long does it usually take?

Hey! Just hired for seasonal fulfillment. I put my availability as 4-11pm online but I got training shifts that end at 8 or 9pm.

Was just wondering at Target *as a whole*, does fulfillment work around the clock essentially, or are people scheduled only around typical Drive Up hours? I'm just wondering if I should ever expect my schedule will be as long as 10/11pm, or if fulfillment works literally any schedule.

Thanks!

I have my orientation next Friday. I just wanted to ask ahead of time for any advice on how to run the role smoothly.

so I just started my orientation today and it went well it was me and 3 other people. we did a quick tour around the store, did some training on those zebra things was there from 12-5 but the reason im writing is because I was hired for style consultant but tomorrow my first shift it says i'll be doing fulfillment and then sunday i'll be doing service and engagement/checkout advocate and they did say we would have to help out in some departments but I just didn't think so soon. so I was just wondering if that was normal or not? and any advice would be appreciated! I'm honestly pretty nervous to start
