Pros

fun to shop there, but hours were hard to come by, so hard to make much money, hard to live off of 15 hours a week

Cons

had to suck up to the supervisor to get more hours, and even then, it was not much, so hard to make a living

Pros

The training and knowledge sharing were excellent and Target really has a great infrastructure in place in terms of technology. The salary is pretty competitive (higher actually) than most retail organizations I've heard about. Customer service is a key focus and, if salaried, you are permitted to come in on your days off or come in early/stay late to get things done so you can spend time on the floor. There's a really great system in place for advancing, too, and you periodically (every year or two) get moved around in positions so you do not become bored (hard to be bored with so many things to do, anyways).

Cons

Really difficult work/life balance. I often worked 60-80 hours per week in a management position to achieve my objectives and it put a strain on my relationships with friends and family outside of work. Be prepared for the hours. The salary is great but, if salaried, the hours can drop your salary below most of your assistants.

Pros

Decent pay, elite benefits offerings, every other weekend schedule, clearly defined job roles

Cons

Too many hours, you will get burned out if you're not careful. Management is political, They will assign blame unfairly to some and support others for no apparent reason. They value negative performance management too much.
