Pros

The benefits package is good and performance really does get you higher rather than keeping you in the same spot.

Cons

The work-life balance is non existent. My relationship is extremely strained since most ETL's work anywhere from 50 to 70 hours a week and Target moves you around frequently.

Pros

Our store manager was the best boss I've ever worked for. Target has a stong emphasis at hiring quality talent to not only meet the needs of the guests, but for the team, as well. I really grew personally during my time at Target, due to the feedback sessions in which I learned more about my strengths AND opportunities! Many places of employment only communicate the opportunities in one's leadership without any recognition or focus on the strengths; or, they are too intimidated to bring up the topic of one's opportunities and never say anything until you hear the statement, "It's just not the right fit for us."

Cons

The company "talks" about work/life balance, but I personally found it very difficult. My personal life was directly related to payroll allocated. When payroll was tight and we could not come clean in our process without me jumping in and helping, I put in easily 60+ hrs./week. However, there were a few times when I had enough payroll where the team was able to accomplish the workload and my week was more in line with 45 - 50hrs. /week.

Pros

They pay decent for retail. They have an average benefit package.

Cons

They see every employee as easily replacable. No one is an asset to the company no matter how hard they work, because they can just put an ad out and replace them with someone who is paid less. Many people are fired with no notice because they have budget cuts, and the management doesn't have a thought about how this will effect everyone's families.
