      Target offers great pay, but it will consume your life - Executive Team Leader Target Employee Review

      Pros

      The pay is very good starting salary in comparison to other jobs fresh out of college. Target does develop you as a leader, and I believe I have grown in the time I have been there. If you work hard there is a lot of room for advancement, but only after 18-24 months.

      Cons

      If your store has opportunities expect to be working more of a 60 hour work week. Lots of college grads are picked up by Target but very few last. Target slaves their Executives because they do not give enough hourly payroll to run the business well. Leadership is inconsistent and the messages keep changing. In the end, it is good money, but there is no work-life-balance.

      Pros

      If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

      Cons

      Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
