Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0Dec 23, 2018Warehouse WorkerCurrent Employee, more than 8 yearsWilton, NY
Pros
Pay is good, time off is also good.
Cons
Hours are long and scheduled overtime during busy seasons can be very difficult on work/home life balance.

Pros
About a million "extras" double floor "break room" with ping pong, fireplace, locker room, showers, outdoor patio with basketball, life size chess, etc., in-company pharmacy, the list goes on and on. Most of the time if you want to be developed, you'll be developed.
Cons
On paper Target is extremely attractive. It's a great place to get excited to work for when you first start, however when you really get into the day to day and see through the glamour everyone is over worked, micromanaged and trying to play the political game to get to the top. If you want to grow in the company worry about getting your managers to like you and you'll be just fine. There are plenty of people that shouldn't be in manager roles but their managers liked then so they became a leader. Also plan on working constantly because everything is a priority and there's no work life balance.
