Pros

Benefits were incredible, as well as the salary. As a Store Team Leader, I was able to create an energetic and exciting culture within my store. On a day-to-day basis, it is a fun place to work.

Cons

Target values procedure over efficiency and process over people. Leadership is not valued, and only those that can strictly follow the "Target Way" will find a career path open to them. Innovation and problem solving are frowned upon, and only Best Practices can be used - even if they are inefficient and even if they do not solve the issue. The company would rather create dissatisfied customers than empower team members to make decisions (this is true, check the policies).

Pros

If you enjoy helping people out then Target is the job for you. A very clean and friendly environment to work at. They have benefits and many volunteer events. I would recommend Target for students looking for a part-time job only. You can take time off, but you must request it before they create the schedule. This is not all Targets but most of them are have their good and bad, so you have to ask and look into it before applying.

Cons

Hard to move up in the company and not a great place to work if you have a family. The pay and raises is not worth it for all the work you have to do in a retail store. I have seen people work here for years and they give new postions to the new people. They cut hours and you cant get overtime.
