Kalamazoo, MI (US)

Former Employee – worked at Target

ProsTarget allows you to own your own training and you are empowered to grow and learn as much as you are willing. I was able to take additional leadership opportunities and was constantly challenged. Work was never boring as long as I challenged myself. The pay and benefits were good. Feedback was constant, not just annually.

ConsIt is rare to be promoted internally to get to an executive position or higher. Most salaried positions are filled externally.

Current Employee – been working at Target

ProsI am fortunate enough to work with a lot of great people. I have become good friends with a few of the people I work with closely.

Positive enviroment, people are constantly letting other know they are doing a good job or if there is something they should work on. Feedback is a huge part of doing well at a job.

ConsThe pay isn't great, but it puts extra cash in my pocket.

At times it feels as though I am back in high school. Although I love the majority of the people I work with, some can be the cause of a lot of drama.

Winder, GA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Target

Pros-10% Discount and a extra 5% if you get the target debt card
- Free flu shot for employees
- Extremely friendly co-worker and very respectful
- Team work
- Management team is GREAT!!!
- Lots of hours 30-39 per week

Cons- Only $7.75 per hour ( Team Members), extra $0.25 for overnight flow (UGH)
- Can not get discount if you use your debt card/ credit card
- Very stressful b/c they only assign one person for 2 depts
- Overwelming at times b/c the lack of employees schedules per shift
- Always reject my request off from work but its good that we have a lot of employees b/c it always get picked up by someone.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop over working your employee we are good ppl and want to have a life as well. I promise if that happens and the entry level turnover rate will lower plus PAY US MORE!!! Min. wage isn't enough to live off of.

Greenland, NH (US)

Current Employee – been working at Target

ProsThe communication around the store level for most team members (associates/employees) from management in my opinion is much better than Target's competitors. The team member (associate/employee) discount is also comparable to what is offered by Target's competitors.

ConsThe rate of pay for non-exempt store level team members (associates/employees) seems a little less than Target's competitors. The front end cashiers also generally don't receive much information from the store management on a daily basis. In regards to the team member (associate/employee) discount however, it doesn't help that you can only use certain types of payments.

Advice to Senior ManagementIf there is a way you can communicate information to the front end cashiers before or after the daily meetings, in my opinion, guests (customers) would be happier in the long run.
