Pros

Great Co-Workers. Clean welcome environment.

Cons

Target used to be a great place to work. They put up a great disguise but they truly are no better than Walmart. Employees hours are constantly cut. They run a whole store on very little payroll. One person does the job of 5. Before Covid we had a much better job and help. Since Covid they have continually used their employees to make up for whatever “bonuses” they gave us. There’s never a time where you’re told what good you’re doing. You’re only constantly being told what’s wrong. They give very unrealistic goals. Expect to walk 20 miles a day. Expect for your boss to cut corners in any way possible. Expect to be extremely over worked. Drive ups are up to 300 a day and that doesn’t include the 100 who come to the desk to pick up. If your team does great then they will only get their payroll cut because they know they can get by on minimal workers doing the job of many. If you’re there for part time and are a student or just making extra money then only give them the minimum required. Your next will not get you a raise or accolades. You will not see a raise worth anything. Once a year you will get anything from 3 cents to 35. It’s a huge smack in the face. New employees make the same rate as people who have been there 15 years.

Pros

I would have said good culture but it’s all a facade. All values of diversity, inclusion and all the rubbish women in tech etc are a facade. It’s a fake outlook. I am referring to Target in india. It is like Indian politics

Cons

Everything. Leadership team, salary, processes - too much politics

Pros

1. The scale which the work done. Even a small work impacts millions of customers. 2. Free food 3.Excellent Cab facility 4. Amazing work life Balance(Provided if you dont want to take any initiative, no one bothers you. E.g. I know a colleague, who joined as a Senior Engineer and past 10 years and continues on same position.) 5. Amazing product team, but very slow compared to their competitors. 5. Good for People who want to settle and as no one challenges you. 6. Amazing place for Female Employees, they are promoted immediately and for a given requirement the hiring bar is very less for them, compared to the Male counter part. 7. Target siting on huge pile of cash, so firing is less, unless if dont fit in their circle(Read my Cons - 2nd point)

Cons

. Most of Target India Leadership is highly in-secured and try to please Minneapolis counter part to get a grip. Never promotes any one unless you are in their fellow known circle. (p.s couple of Sr.Directors are really good and value smart people) 2. Skills, Smart work doesn't matter, as long as you have God Father/Mother supporting you. (Butter/Soap/Bucket helps a lot) 3.Many fake glass-door reviews were written by HR team to attract new talents. 4. Show is completely run by Minneapolis team. 5. Slow environment and high ambitious people stay away.
