great internship! horrible career!

Executive team leader, guest experience

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As an intern, you get a competitive intern pay, $14hr, flexible schedules, great work life balance, and awesome support.

Cons

Once you switch to salaried employee, you sign your life away. You get no work/life balance, easily pushing 60 hours a week. You become a slave to the district management and have to deal with co-workers who do not have a bachelors degree. After switching to full-time, I quit like most recent graduates. Run!!!!!!!!

A Cool Work Experience for College Students

Sales floor team member

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A flexible work schedule for people in college, as the company is very willing to work around your class schedule. The pay benefits are getting better, such as discounts with phone companies and other retailers like Apple computers.

Cons

Sales Floor Team Member is a great second or part-time job. Nothing else. If you plan to have a serious career at Target, try to make friends in high places and definitely obtain a B.A. in business management.

As retail goes a good place to be

Executive team leader - logistics

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Target in general posesses and fosters a very positive work environment. The atmosphere is pleasant and does help the day go by a bit faster. There are electronic resourses available to assist you, as a manager, in the execution of your duties.

Cons

Junior team members, as with any minimum wage employees often don't care for the work or put in their best efforts. The culture does help to mitigate this but even with this factor turnover can be high and inefficiencies hinder productivity. Especial on the overnight shift.
