      I worked at Target (More than a year)

      Pros

      I liked interacting with customers, and the managers will generally help you if you have any issues or concerns.
      HR is great at solving scheduling issues.
      Work a lot of hours if wanted

      Cons

      Pay is not competitive and not enough to afford minimum standard of living in more populated parts of the country
      Overtime is not allowed - basically caps your income at $1600 a month for full time employees

      Advice to Management

      Focus on connecting more with your employees as I only remember having one or two conversations with my manager for my entire tenure.

      Cons

      Harder to move up from team level position.
      Do more with less mentality- constantly cutting positions and hours making more work for managers.
      Horrible work life balance, salaried at 50 hours a week, often working more.
      No long term thought process.
      You will be put in positions not based on your skill set but to fill a need.

      Advice to Management

      Work on succession planning.
