Target reviews

Work life balance can be rough if you have a family or significant other. Even if you are a manager, at the end of the day, it is retail. You work retail hours and deal with all the cons of retail. Also, learn to completely block yourself off to the world during 4th quarter. While Target market themselves to promote and show you all of these paths to success and higher paying salaries, it never really seems to come and there is always another bridge you must cross before reaching that goal. "Expect more, pay less" - Target's motto and a good reflection of how they treat the store team members.

Within a few months of working here, I turned something in a little late and was sternly talked to by three different people. The head of our group even threatened to get HR involved! I've never had anything even remotely close to this happen to me before. I'm a very conscientious and hard working person. It's also nearly impossible to know why people do and say the things they say. For example, it's possible that I was targeted for reasons that had nothing to do with me (and by the way, every single other person on the team had something late that week). I did _not_ enjoy the politics. Subsequently we were informed we were expected to work 10 hour days everyday, and work Saturdays on-demand. Ugh!
