      Pros

      Friendly teammembers. Senior management at the store piches in and helps when it is busy. They are understanding when bad weather hits.

      Cons

      Trying to do too much with too few employs. They need to be more willing to give overtime. They get upset if you are over 4o hours by even a few minutes.

      Pros

      It offers an opportunity to make advances based on performance and work ethic, independent of your education level. It pays better than many other retailers and provides a generally safe, clean work environment. For some full time employees there are affordable medical plans offered, as well as retirement accounts.

      Cons

      Management is largely unresponsive and unconcerned regarding the need for consistent schedules and time off. You are very likely to be scheduled to close the store one day, open the next, close than open, again and again without regard to your life. You may put in for time off well in advance, and be told the day before you must work regardless of your request and following their policy. If you are young, you will be treated as incompetent despite exhibiting responsibility, efficiency and hard work. Your attempts to voice concerns or suggest improvements will be disregarded.

      Pros

      Target is big on work/life balance with it's employees. I never had an issue getting time off approved if I let them know in a timely manner. I learned a lot from the opportunities I received at Target, however since I lack a college degree my future growth hinged on that.

      Cons

      Communication from Management to the rest of the employees is lacking. Timely feedback is also an opportunity area. Senior management plays favorites a lot as well. I worked in two locations and saw it first hand. There was a team member clearly qualified for a specialist position, but did not receive it and the lesser qualified candidate received that position. I am grateful that never affected me.
