These people NEVER answer their phone, called the store for 20 straight minutes never got a hold of a soul. Called HR, called customer service, called every department no one seems to want to answer the phone during NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS. Shame on this location.UPDATE: After an hour and 20 mins of calling this location with still no one answering the phones (including HR) I finally made the decision to call corporate. At least they answered their phones. Put in a complaint about central Islip location and I will NEVER be returning back to this location again. Bad business! if they cant answer a phone call they are incompetent of doing anything else.

Regular to this location. Great store great location but finding someone useful to help find something in the aisles is difficult. 1 person said they have no idea we dont have it. Other person I asked was great said its in the back and got it for me. 8/10 times my experience the worker cant be bothered.

My husbands phone died suddenly and the tech at bay shore was very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us buy and set up the new phone. Better service than at the AT&T store.

Hometown target. Always has what you need weather it’s last min or a planned trip. Items always stocked and ready to go, the car side pick up is neat especially since Covid hit and you didn’t want to go in the store. Leave the trunk open and they put items in and close the trunk. Win WIN

This target location provided me with everything I needed. I originally stopped by because they were the only one within a 50 mile radius who had chimichurri in stock and I was really craving some chimichurri stirfry. Unfortunately, the chimichurri was gluten-free and did not taste the way I expected it to tase which is in line with the original Argentinian recipe. However, this target is well-stocked, a lot of staff, and even at peak hours I was able to get through the self check out line within five minutes. There’s also a Starbucks in here in case you need a shot to boost your morning or evening Before or after you’ve done your shopping.

I spoke to the front end manger today because the entire parking lot was filled with shopping carts. All of the cart stalls were overflowing. He explained that they were short-staffed and so no one was bringing in the carts today. As a result a shopping cart went across the light and slid across the side of my car causing a deep scratch through the paint of my car and down to bare metal. Its not worth shopping at Target if my vehicle gets damaged by shopping there. Home Depots lot is perfectly clean only 100 feet away.

James! I hope youre seeing this. What an amazing Target employee. He is simply a cart attendant but needs more recognition! Not only did he help unload my entire cart of items, but he also was just the nicest man. Give this man a promotion!

I located what I needed easily and the price was right. Target is the store that I purchase my essential items from. The produce are always fresh, its well rounded place that I appreciated and the hours are really convenient.

This is the most DISGUSTING target I’ve ever been too. Aisles blocked, boxes all over the place. You literally had to move things out of the aisle to get your cart though. I will never shop here again. Where is the management??

I have been coming here since this store opened. Never have I’ve seen the garbage pail outside in front emptied. Awful that it gets no attention through out the day! I blame management and as I’m waiting for store to open the parking lot is a mess. Birds scatter garbage all over! The TEAM at target need to address not just inside cleanliness but outside as well

Great store great employees everyone is so nice its wonderful. Actually I used to work there was there for a long time 2013-2020 wow long time. Loved being cash register person I like being in control. I let the guest dictate the transaction they r always right. U saw a sign for a $$ 20 dollar gift card well here you go. Here are two ten dollar cards cause the system wont let you give one over 20.

Because I feel comfortable walking around this store. I can quickly find what Im looking for, not like the store on Sunrise Hwy, Bay Shore, NY, which by the way is closest to me. The layout of that store makes me what to go and try to find what I want and leave. Its not a pleasant experience.

The Target staff here were nice and helpful. Several of them greeted me when they saw me and asked if I needed help. The staff were energetic and hard at work. The store was clean and organized and felt a little bit more spacious than the ones in the boroughs. The Christmas merchandise was out and lovely.

I went there with my dog today and they said they didnt allow dogs unless they were service dogs! Last time i went they didnt say anything about bringing your dog with you to the store! Unbelievable!! And it was dirty almost everywhere too!! Although i really like this place, it still gets 3 stars for this! This store really needs more good services here for cleaning!

Love this Target. Its always clean and well stocked. The aisles are wide so you never feel crowded. Great selection of groceries, I hardly go to supermarkets anymore. They just need to have more registers open, especially during the Sunday after church rush.

Have been in here a few times and have had a hard time getting help when needed. Just left with only 2 cashiers on and 2 huge lines, CD section looks like a bomb went off ( good luck finding anything you need there) this isnt my first time in this target but with the condition of the store and lack of help or cashiers Im sure itll be my last.

So this store is actually a good store. Never had a reason to leave a review until today. So according to your staff and company policy if youre a cash paying customer your only allowed 5 bottles of Similac formula. Where is if your a WIC customer your allowed however many you want. I have no problem with that at all. But unfortunately my wife and I make to much to be eligible for WIC. I find it a bit discriminate towards cash paying customers. So my child is supposed to starve because I dont have WIC?Please change the policy before it becomes an issue. Or raise the price on your formulas so I can go else where. Thats why they deserve 1 star.PS: target locations in areas such as commack, and garden City etc..dont have that issue why at this location?

Certainly one of the best superstores. They have items ranging from furniture to electronics and even groceries. Employees are wonderful and always around for help plus they know exactly where to find thing without second guessing. Store also has a Starbucks to energize you as you shop or a munch on a delicious personal pan pizza either way its great shopping experience.

Review №47

So many of the products are not marked with with the right prices AND products are in the wrong spot so you can easily grab the wrong product with the price being way above what you thought it was.Terrible organization and I would have to say that the manager or managers are not really making sure the store is properly layed out to the floor plan.Prices at this site are WAY ABOVE other Target stores and many packages are opened.Very disappointed with this target and if I was a Secret Shopper - Wow! Theyd probably have a change in management.

Purchased an item at the Target in Smithtown and didn’t realize pieces were missing until I gave the gift to my niece. I called the store and the were unfortunately out of the produce suggested I call out to other locations. Call the Central Islip location and I was placed on hold for 30 minutes! No one ever came back to phone and when I called back several times after no one answered! They even picked up and disconnected the call a few times. STRAIGHT RUDE!!!!

Inquired about a gift with purchase over the phone, was told they had some and would give it to me without even purchasing the required item. In the store, they said they had none and if they did I would have had to purchase the item for the gift. Whoever you are, you are a liar.

I shop at Target very often. I like the girls clothes and love the Blueberry Bread. Yay, FINALLY Black Barbies and other Black dolls. The food section is good for quick food purchases eggs, milk, cereal, strawberries etc. I dislike the changes in the ladies dress casual clothing. What happened? No more jeans, yoga pants, and dress pants in Long sizes?!? Overall, they can be pricey, but they have a wide selection of decent products.BUT HELLO!!!! Your Assets Protection Department needs retraining. Ive been shopping at the Central Islip Target since it first opened. Ive been in the neighborhood since before that shopping center was even built. I visit that store at least weekly, every month and they STILL follow and watch me (poorly I might add. I SEE you) REALLY? Youve followed me and my daughter for so many years, you should be able to tell me what I purchase!!! LESSON #1 ALL BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT STEAL. Go get the REAL statistics on whose more likely to steal. LESSON #2 You really should AT LEAST RECOGNIZE your frequent and loyal shoppers.

Filthiest Target Ive ever been in. Tipped over carts in the middle of the parking lot. Trash all over the entry carpet. Piles of clothing on the floor in the pharmacy of all places. Multiple burned out lights inside the store. I feel dirty for having stopped there. I am from Minneapolis Minnesota. Birth place of Target. Ive seen a few not the best ever Targets. This one takes the cake. Im staying in Hauppauge on business. This was the closest location according to Google maps. I wont be making that mistake again.

This store has an amazing team but management needs to be flipped. The store manager could care less about his “team” members REAL lives and ONLY cares about the time stamped on the timecards. Apparently if you call out with an emergency it still is seen as nothing but you “ not being here to work”.If you expect people to be robots and not experience life events that alters their work( especially those with children) then you should be in another line of work. Ive over heard what seemed to be a manager by the name of Marissa gossiping about another team member to another worker... how proffessional. Wonderful to shop! Not wonderful to work!

Target is always an accessible place for any and all handicap, however..they dont always follow the rules.Im involved in a class action suit against thrm..(I didnt sue them someone else did..but bc my situation was the same I benefited from it)I interviewed got a great position I was excited about,got a call the next day and said they couldnt hire me bc of my background after they did a background check.I have a document,saving me from this trouble..and they ignored it well I guess someone else was smarter..and sued them..and won!!so they broke the law,and they also were judgmental and unnaceptaing that people can change and make mistakes and have a past of over 10 years prior..and discrimination.
