Pros

For a team member, the best things about working at Target are the flexibility to work around your personal life and the opportunity to promote. For all who work at Target, the atmosphere and team work is always great (although, like in all cases, everything is not always perfect). There will be times when new programs have to roll out, and not everyone approves of them. Just make sure you give them a chance, and if they work out, everything is good. Most failed plans end up getting dumped once it is clear they won't succeed. Voice your opinion because your HR and STL are ther to listen to your concerns and suggestions.

Cons

It's retail, so you will be working all/most major holidays, including Christmas Eve, 4th of July, etc.

Pros

A good seasonal second job.

Cons

Management suck. When calling in sick, they say that I wasn't trying hard enough and this is from a person who never called in sick in two years. I was told by a prior employee that they want you to come in, go to the bathroom and throw up and then come back and work. Can you believe it? Its true.

Pros

I worked there throughout high school and college and it was a good job for that. Management is never that great, and they have to many managers in my opinion. The pay was good to start but raises are very terrible. Also, they let you transfer easily which is good for a college student.

Cons

Raises are not that great. Someone working there 5 years only makes a dollar more an hour than new hires. There is really no reason to perform at a high level because you get nothing in return. All the workers get paid the same yet many people don't work as hard as others. This results in some people doing double the work while others not really doing anything. Target has trouble getting good workers and lets poor performers linger too long.
