Had my final interview in the Chicago area last week for a Target security position (TSS). Pay starts at $19.75 an hour and comes with 40 hours a week and full Blue Cross Blue Shield with dental and vision.
Pro’s:
Both of the store managers and I had a chill interview. It was more of a shoot-the-shit sesh than anything, but we all got our points across, picked up on each other’s demented sense of humor, and it sounded like we’d be able to work well together and get along.
Con’s:
Final interview with the Area/District Manager was a cringe fest. Guy tried to boast about the amount of stores he oversaw -that are currently being ran and staffed like shit- and about his undying loyalty to the brand.
Job sounds like it’s more of a glorified greeter position since I’d basically be standing near the entrances and greeting/helping people find what they need.
I was more or less told that Target starts everyone off at $19.75 and refuses to consider a better rate of pay for someone coming in with years of retail and loss prevention in big box stores, in addition to doing club security.
After being told my start date would be within a couple days, I was then informed that it would be closer to 3 weeks out, on a day that I’m already booked, which resulted in a conversation that got my first day pushed back a day.

Is the above rate of pay with full benefits considered good for someone with extensive experience in this day and age, or is this a lowball offer? Is there a more lucrative place to get into LP?

If you work LP for Target, what’s your experience been?
Cheers.
