      Target-a great place to work

      Pros

      work-life balance, pay, people- no other retailer has a schedule that allows management to have every other weekend off, ease in requesting time off, personal days for management. You are encouraged to think outside the box and your ideas are listened to. Bonuses are atainable, and changing areas are encouraged-you are not locked forever in doing the same job your entire career if you want to change. You are not forced to travel any distances that you do not want to to keep your job.

      Cons

      you need a 4 year degree to move up, regardless of past experience, which can be frustrating. The good side is that Target has a tuition reimbursement program that helps you to get that degree.

      Pros

      Ability to transfer in between location, management pay is decent, good springboard to get you into somewhere else, can learn a lot with regards to running a retail store the magnitude of target. You go through a lot supposedly to get to store management level.

      Cons

      Management direction, everyone is not treated fairly within company, managers give conflicting direction, hourly pay is not great. Once you hit certain level, promotion is non-existant for a long while. Appearance of management having "favorites" that get "special perks". Store management offers different ideas and practices that district management does not confirm as "best practice"

      Target: Too big for their own good.

      Pros

      People you work with directly are good people, it is management that is a problem

      Cons

      Too many employees, you just become a number instead of a person. Getting vacation approved is like pulling teeth. There is NO communication between management and low level employees. Complaints always fall on deaf ears, and no consideration is given for any issues brought up. The discount is not even worth the trouble of working for this company. If you try to get a job in a different function of the company, you are treated worse than off the street applicants. They are too afraid you will leave and go to a different department.
