It's very hard work at times.

Cons

The whole adds up to less than the parts. Distracted senior management consistently unable to match message with action.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in your product, too many people with multiple titles and responsibilities. How about adding an operating officer?

Pros

Positive working environment, great culture. They are very flexible and provide good benefits. Multiple company outings supported by management. Office is pretty neat as well.

Noting worth complaining about. The people are good, competent, and seem to care about what they are doing. It would be awesome to have more career advancement chances, but it is a growing company.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep trying to make the products better, make sure morale stays high, keep hiring good people. It would be nice if technology was more responsive, but I think they are doing the best they can.

Pros

Great benefits, friendly staff, team environment, opportunity for advancement, management listens and responds, evolving industry and technology, supportive of work/life balance, good reputation.

Because some managers and employees work in different locations throughout the US & Canada, it can be difficult to make decisions or get information.

vision for where employees can grow to

Pros

Easy job, fun to work with people.

Cons

Tough standing on your feet.

Advice to Senior Management

Its a good workplace. Go.

Pros

It's an okay company. No clear direction of where they're going. Too much conflict between IT and leadership slowed progress and kept us way below the technologies of our competition.

Cons

Disappointed that I wasn't aware of the changes of going to an "enterprise" structure.

Advice to Senior Management

Having a VP for every 3-5 people really isn't necessary.

Pros

Very flexible schedule, Director very supportive in many ways. Some very knowledgeable and long standing staff members are very good at mentoring.

Cons

Very little communication from executives. HR not often in the office, and not terribly supportive when they are. Remember, HR works for the company, not for the employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen, communicate, listen some more. Get the WHOLE story before making decisions.

Pros

The staff at Target was very helpful and nice to me when I started my new job. The management was good about schedule conflicts.

Cons

The job is extremely physical and the customer often times got very upset, especially around the holidays. Very tiring and the pay is too low.

Advice to Senior Management

it would be nice if the pay would be better, especially during those long, exhausting holiday hours. Why not raise the hourly wage during that time.

Pros

Everyone is fairly intelligent and really tries to help out co-workers with tasks. Customers or quests as they're called at target are given highest priority and helped out in a courtious manner all the time. The store is always clean and taken care of. All people on the floor are trained in accident prevention,chemical spills and register training. Over all the level of service is quite good.

Cons

The payscale is dismal. It takes forever to get sickdays,health benefits,and vacations. raises are slow and pretty bleak. Everyone is also on a part time basis and is scheduled according to whim. If Target wants to phase someone out all they have to do is cut back on their schedule. At $8.00 and hour entry salary three days a week is not a living wage. Even at five days or a full 40 hours the salary is down in the lowest payscales for a company that makes millions of dollars. They could afford to pay the hourly help a much beter wage then they do.

Advice to Senior Management

Trust people more. Pay a living wage. Stop making the job a popularity contest instead of working on merit.
