      I worked at Target full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Going in at twenty I didn’t expect to work at Target for an extended period of time. What followed were the four best years of my professional career. You not only get to work with a wonderful team, but you get the chance to prove yourself. A lot of promotions are done in-house.

      Cons

      There is only one true con that I can think of, and that is none other than the terrible red and khaki color combination.

      Advice to Management

      Don’t forget to take care of your team.

      I have been working at Target part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The people are great, I have never had an issue with management or HR. They have always appreciated the extra work I do.

      Cons

      Always understaffed, sometimes stressful (because of understaffing/lack of payroll), hard to get promoted/move up, lack of training. Some departments get the short end of the stick for being lane backups.

      Advice to Management

      Athough I am lucky to be quick learner, the majority of new people who worked alongside me are gone due to the fact that they were not given more training hours. They were confused and that caused them to have anger towards their job/ management. Please open your mind to your sales floor associates, some of us have great ideas to help Target become more productive and less wasteful. Whenever I bring up an idea or a solution to a problem, there is never the time to listen to it. Even a suggestion box would be a good thing!!

      Pros

      Great people, love the team I work with

      Cons

      The district likes to change things that don’t need to be changed, things that create more of a mess than is necessary

      Advice to Management

      Listen to the team members, they’re on the floor and they know what works best with guests. We have a lot of good ideas.

      Pros

      Good benefits
      Felt empowered to use my judgement
      Corporate culture encourages healthy communication

      Starting pay was fairly reasonable for the area but raises were rare and tiny

      I worked at Target part-time

      Pros

      Flexible hours
      Multiple duties keep it interesting

      Cons

      High turnover of cashiers
      Lack of resources needed for everyone to do their best
      Unrealistic credit goals

      Advice to Management

      Visibility needs to be more than coaching opportunities and walking leisurely by on lunch. Everybody has a hard job, but attitude and perception put forth by ESTLs can lower store morale.
