      Grossly Underpaid w/ a Completely Skewed Work/Life Balance (LOG TL)

      Logistics team leader-flow
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Was promoted from Sales Floor TM to Logistics Team Lead (overnight) w/in 2 months of hire 2. 15% discount 3. Performance, ALL performance (store, co., job, etc), is measured with precise metrics 4. Company has HUGE amount of TL Development tools available, and seeems to take development seriously

      Cons

      1. TERRIBLE PAY (I'm a TL making $11.36/hr!) and raise structure 2. Store-level HR is an impediment to "Managing Talent" 3. Difficult to maintain work/life balance in an o/n store 4. Benefits package is insufficient 5. Most new-hire ETL's are idiots (but they are usually quite pretty) 6. Must have a degree, even if it's completely irrelevant, like Modern Dance, to get to LOD position

      Enjoy working for target but pay is low.

      Pros

      Able to rise quickly if you work hard. Management treats people well and are interactive with the employees. A 15% discount is really nice every time you shop at target! I have really enjoyed working in target.

      Cons

      There are only two downsides I have experienced while working at target. First the amount of work they expect the team leads to do. They expect 60 hours of work in a 40 hour week. At my store our hours are cut so we only get about 35 right now and they expect us to do the same amount of work in a shorter time period. Second would be the low wages. I started as a team member and got promoted in 5 months and got a raise. I now make $11 an hour.

      Company with solid values but resistant to change

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company values are clear and respectable Personal development is always in conversation Work life balance is good most of the time Benefits package is incredible - preventive care 100% covered Responsibilities given based on performance not age

      Cons

      Slow to adopt change in strategies that will push target to be the retail leader Resistance to devote resources to Target.com for e-commerce needs Feedback driven culture can be overwhelming Career development and path is clear but rigid within merchandising Company culture is passive-aggressive and not direct, yet conversations about direct topics are daily - makes in-person interactions awkward Overall Minnesota culture is very reserved, passive and high school esque - all of which is evident at Target
