      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 worked at Target full-time

      Pros

      Highly collaborative, with emphasis on personal development and cooperation among colleagues. It wasn't a place you could steamroll others just to get results - you needed to bring people along (which could also be a con because it was slower moving)

      Cons

      Very slow to embrace innovation and "fail fast", slower use of deep analytics, and too process oriented. It could also value appearance of results (e.g., roadshows of initiatives) more than the actual results

      Advice to Management

      Embrace innovation more, care more about true results and less about the roadshow or optics of the results, and know which areas of the company need to be more bound to processes and which can be less

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

      Pros

      Friendly staff and Team Leaders, Fast paced environment, Flexible hours.

      Cons

      During slow times of the year (Non-holiday times) hours can be cut. Short amount of time, especially during night shifts, to get everything done with an overwhelming amount to finish.

      Former supervisor was rude and a micromanager but apparently she was forced to transfer to another store :)

      Advice to Management

      Nothing even remotely critical to say about management. The best retail company in the world! I cherished my time working there and I am hoping to be rehired and promote the great culture and values of Target.

      Easy job. My team was very easy to get along with. Plenty of advancement opportunity so long as you have a degree and actively search out higher positions.

      This job single handedly made me never want kids.

      Advice to Management

      Cart pushers need music to stay sane.
