Pros

Great promotional opportunities and great people to work with. Training and personal development are top notch. Leadership consists of good people.

Cons

Work life balance is challenging. Long weeks 50-60 hours are typically expected. Promotions seem to be based more on who you know that how you do your job.

Pros

The work environment and the people you work with vary GREATLY from store-to-store, but I am happy to say that my Target has (mostly) awesome people. Most co-workers are friendly, willing to help you out.. it's a great environment. As a minor working at Target, the pay is way more than I need, but it definitely would be challenging to live off of, but I do not plan to stay with Target after college. The discount is nice, little 10%s off here and there really add up. Customers are usually friendly, and most of us find a feeling of satisfaction to help the guest with their problem.

Cons

There are, of course, a few negative people, and it sucks that you have to compensate for their laziness. Sometimes you get caught in the middle of issues that are not your fault. Training does not cover everything you need to know, but at the same time, it is unrealistic to think it would.

Pros

It is good because you get paid well starting out of college and if you do well, you get promoted quickly and have the ability to earn a lot of money. The benefits are also great.

Cons

The upper management, the ones that have been at Target for a while, usually do not do a thing. They have found ways to use the new Executives and their team members and take credit for it all. All though I was promoted quickly and gained respect through the company quickly, I gained no respect for Target.
