Target Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company reflects a mix of positive and negative sentiments. Customers appreciate the convenience, product variety, and competitive pricing, particularly praising the store's layout and exclusive brands. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, with reports of long wait times, unresponsive staff, and issues with online orders and returns. Many customers express frustration over outdated products and perceived indifference from management. These trends suggest that while the company offers a strong shopping experience, substantial improvements in customer support and service reliability are needed to enhance overall customer satisfaction.

Ok

I am only displeased that many items are no longer available online and then only certain stores carry them. It is frustrating.

They now require some form of ID, which they swipe, to return merchandise. So I no longer shop there. This is ironic, by the way, because I am concerned about identity theft so don't want my information in their system, and THEIR system was hacked.

I purchased a book online and went to pick it up. When purchased, there were 2 available in my store supposedly, but when I arrived the next day to get it, I was told, no, it is not here yet! So I cancelled my purchase at Target went to Books a Million and bought the book.

I love that you can pick up your items in-store... totally saves on shipping! Plus, they generally have high-quality items for fairly decent prices.

The food isn't of any higher quality than anywhere else and everything is expensive for no reason. The people are moderately nice and I guess the store is okay.

Once you find a job there be ready to work from 10 to 12 hours. Somehow they are always hiring people to make themselves look profitable. Their managers are all early twenties to thirty who has not experience managing people. Their turnover rate is very high. When a manager is approached about the lack of working hours given, their answers are very demeaning which is unnecessary. One of the 20 years old manager told me take it or leave it.

Expensive for sure.
March 16, 2017

I love target as a store, but hate the expensive prices for everything. I would say shop there if you want better quaility but not if you are going for cheap groceries.

The customer service at Target is top notch. I recently purchased a rocking chair for my pregnant sister as a baby shower gift. The one that I ordered later came back as sold out and my money was refunded -I got the email three days after the purchase. The next comparable chair was $100 more but included an ottoman. I was disappointed but ponied up the extra $100 since I already told her I got her the chair. Then, Target charged a $50 shipping charge. I e-mailed Target and they agreed split the difference with me and issued me a $75 credit to apply to the purchase. While I was still out $75, they were willing to meet me halfway, which is sometimes all you can ask for. This experience changed my opinion of their service, in a positive way.

A lot of home ideas
March 12, 2017

I'm always Leary of walking into a Target store because I'll go in for one item & walk out with a cart full. Target amazes me with the unique decorating ideas for home that they have. I've also seen the clothing line become a bit more "up scale". On line I've found that sometimes you're limited to type of item available but this is another of my favorites.
