Pros

Target is a progressive retail organization with high expectations of its management teams.

Cons

Working in a retail environment is challenging from a work/life balance perspective, and Target is no exception. I felt that the expectations placed on the "Executive Team Leaders", given the resources available, were unrealistic. It was condescending to me to be rated red, yellow or green on how a bulletin board looked when we were in the midst of losing our store manager.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
