Not a bad place to work.

Pros

The discount comes in handy, the people are great to work with in general, the hours are steady, at least pays the rent.

Cons

Very high expectations. Everyday Team Members are expected to go above and beyond, sometimes to the point of wearing themsleves too thin. On top of normal, weekly tasks, ETLs seem to add more work, as well as expect Guest Surveys to be amazing.

Pros

At Target, there is ample opportunity to advance for top performers. Promotion is based on performance and not seniority. The pay is very competitive, and it is possible to increase your starting salary quickly by way of good performance and promotions.

Cons

Target places too much emphasis on needing a college degree to work in a leadership position, or move from an existing leadership position, where one has already proven their abilities to another leadership position. Around 2005, Target decided this was mandatory for all new hires and Executives who were already in position. This has resulted in Target placing some Executives in position solely because of they possessed a degree, resulting in some awesome failures!

Pros

not the typical office job that makes you think quickly and teaches a lot of responsibility. Fun group of peers to work with.

Cons

Long exhausting hours with hard to meet goals. Review process can be biased and other departments can either make or break your department.
