Don't be fooled by the happy people on the posters -- Neither fast, nor fun, nor friendly.

Pros

The work is challenging and there is always a different job to do if you're unhappy with you current position. Getting cross-trained is the best way to make your job more interesting and to make you more effective in your roles.

Cons

There have been major cutbacks due to declining sales. Management has a lack of sympathy for team members who are subject to the consequences of the major hours cuts. Morale has declined severely since 2005 as the company has made hours and team members more expendable.

Pros

Better than what I've heard of similar employers in the retail environment. Meals have been brought in for employees almost every week during the holidays and it seems to help morale.

Cons

Have to pretty far up the food chain to make much money. Sometimes there is a little more pressure than necessary on being fast, fast, fast. Schedules are sometimes approximations. Some days they want you to stay late, others they're pushing employees out the door early to save a little bit on payroll, so it can be difficult to plan.

Pros

Being an Executive Team Leader with Target, you either love it or hate it. There's almost no middle ground. You find out very quickly if its for you. Also - you get out what you put in to your job.

Cons

Crazy hours, work/life balance, love it or hate it. Know how to work "office politics" to be successful. Either you 'get it' or you don't.
