Pros

Target management is really good about taking care of their employees during holidays and celebrations; however, they are on a slippery slope of doing otherwise.

Cons

underpaid for the amount of work and stress their team members go threw. Senior Management should never talk down to team members, stop showing favorites for the dayside team versus the closing team, reward employees for doing well (not just with great team cards), try to stay fully staffed, dont hire people for full time work if all HR will give is part time.

Good place to work if you do not want to be promoted past middle management.

Pros

Target is great if you may have to move because there are stores all over the country. The job is always changing so it is difficult to get bored. Great team to work with.

Cons

Management sets the tone and managers come and go. So unfortunately the environment can change quickly with the turnover. Target does not promote above team leader without a 4 yr. degree. At some point experience is worth as much as a degree.

Pros

routating weekends, upper leadership don't care what the team leads are doing, never holding people accountable ( great if you want a work place where they lose track of you ), benifits, I liked working for target when I first got hired but excs. changed every year and got tired for every new store exc trying to re-invent the wheel

Cons

No advancement, poor pay, senior leadership hired outside company, senior leadership does not communicate down to middle and lower leadership, Hiring people just for warm bodies, Hight turn around, throwing people in their jobs with little to no training, no leadership but when you fail, holding poeple to differnet standards,
