I worked at Target full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The company as a whole is very inclusive and diverse. Target gives the opportunity for upward mobility to people that might be overlooked by other companies. The benefits are great and the pay can be great also if you work hard enough for it.
Cons
Retail as an industry is changing very fast. The opportunities for advancement are evaporating quickly. Target is not immune to the changing landscape of retail. They are quickly getting rid of middle management just like everyone else.
Advice to Management
There are hardworking and talented team leaders that are willing to change with the company as it changes. They are invaluable to the future of Target. Unfortunately they are being used as scapegoats to protect ETL's that are scrambling to save their own jobs. The company wide changes are embraced by the leaders that want to be the change you need. We are being discarded by the leaders that fear the necessary changes.
Everyone is always happy, employees and guests included. It’s generally a super positive place to work, and as an employee, you’ll always feel like a part of a team.
Cons
They are only required to give you eight hours in between shifts, so they can have you stay still 1 am, and need you back at 8.

I have been working at Target full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Target is a great company to work for. They are inclusive and forward thinking. The health insurance benefits alone make it a worth while company to work for. They treat their team members with respect and dignity.
Cons
There are major changes happening throughout the company that could be changing a lot of the pros about working for Target.
Advice to Management
Upper management is currently going through massive changes in the way that they prioritize all aspects of the company. They need to remeber what sets Target apart from our competitors. Helpful team members, uncluttered aisles, and a focus on the shopping experience.

I have been working at Target full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Fast Past, No lag time, if allowed often times stay pass you're designated shift. If you have a good team, you'll do great because teamwork is key in this job.
Cons
More often than not, you'll won't have enough equipment to do your work; so you'll have to find a way.
Advice to Management
Have a better way to track your time card/hours, allow access to work bench from home. Have enough computers for the mandatory training (2 for 300 employees isnt enough) and devices for your staff.
I have been working at Target part-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
The pay is good the employees are good the team leads there are pretty good
Cons
The managers there too many managers saying one thing and the other one says the other they give our hers too to the people they like they are always telling other employees that work there that they don't have ours but when they do
Advice to Management
The advice I would give to management is you want to keep your employees you can't keep telling them that there is no hours there's no hours and blame it on someone else that there is no hours you need to be equal to every employee

I worked at Target part-time (More than a year)
Pros
The job is easy and the people are great. I worked in Starbucks, food ave, and softlines. They also train you very well.
Cons
They only promote people that have degrees. You can work there for years but someone coming in with an art degree that's completely irrelevant to the job is more likely to get the promotion than you.
