Pros

The salary at Target was good, but that is literally the only good thing I can say. Money can't buy happiness, though, so the appeal of the money is not enough for too long.

Cons

As a Group Leader, you work long hours and you are on your feet for 10-12 hours a day. There is no home-work life balance; Target owns you on the days you work, and your days off are spent recuperating to get ready to do it all again the next week. Never disagree with anything upper management thinks, does or says, or you will be black listed and ignored, if not worked out completely. It is an environment of criticism masquerading as feedback. If you are not blindly in agreement and support of management, they see you as against them, and not "bought in" to the culture. Giving honest constructive suggestions is seen as dissention, and unless you are a mindless follower, you will not be happy at Target.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
