Target reviews

(Strictly for those in HR) - 50+ hours expected each week - you work every other weekend - you work all holidays - you work 10+ hour shifts and are expected to work mids (I.e,. 9-7, 10-8) - strong corporate political environment - you will be asked to run the truck in the back, pack online orders, unload freight onto shelves, hop on a register… etc. if you are looking for an actual HR professional role, this one is not for you. If you’re looking for a retail management role with a slight hint of HR, this would be perfect for you. (Especially if planning on moving up as a Store Director)

Most of my cons revolve around the realities of the retail industry. Long hours, a lot of weekends and working in a business that thrives best around the holidays makes for a difficult work/life balance at times. There are some "down" times, around the spring and fall, but even then with remodels, the strength of your leadership team and other factors can still make carving out time with family difficult. For business partners or multi-unit leaders that don't have to engage in the "grind" of store leadership, this company and setup is fantastic. But for those in the brick and mortar every day, it can be a challenging and rigid setup. One last thing is that since there isn't a black and white system for attendance, leadership often has to "chase down" these situations to hold team members accountable. Our competitors have easy-to-understand systems in place to help with accountability in a busy environment.
