Pros

Challenging work in a fast-paced, youthful, work environment. The retail industry changes quickly which makes the job fun and challenging but can also create a lot of instability; particularly right now.

Cons

Often hard to get things done; over-collaborative. With sales flagging, high focus on expense reduction making work generally less fun and creating some risk of job loss via reductions. Also, pay for performance is a misnomer.

Pros

Great health and dental benefits if a full time employee. Starting pay is a lot higher if recruited externally. ($19.00 if in CA with a Bachelors degree)

Cons

Unrealistic high expectations from executive team leaders and store team leader. They all walk around and observe all of their hard working little minions and team leaders. No work-life balance especially during holidays. Can't spend thanksgiving or Christmas with yor family. Execs walk around with a smug face acting like they're gods gift to mankind. All they do is walk around delegating and not actually working.. super frustrating especially because many of these etls are recent college grads with no experience and have no clue how to respectfully manage and speak to a team with more experience than them.

Pros

Awesome STL, ETLs and team. (At least in my store) Tough time in Target but all leaders in store still try our best and work as a team to work towards a common goals, a green store.

Cons

It's good to have high expectations but it's unachievable when given limited resources and support. District "Manager"/ Business partner never understand the difficulties store encounter, although every leaders are giving their 200% and still not good enough for them. Technology and support are not provided in store but they still expect us to function like a US Target. (It took A YEAR for Target Canada to have the tool to print labels through PDAs, unbelievable) Head office needs to step their game up since their failure is the root cause of keeping every store "red". Workload hours are not being calculated properly and often we need to complete a huge task with short amount of hours.
