Former Employee – worked at Target
Pros – Target 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.
Cons – It is rare to be promoted internally to get to an executive position or higher. Most salaried positions are filled externally.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Target
Pros – I 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.
Cons – The 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.

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 Management – Stop 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.

Current Employee – been working at Target
Pros – The 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.
Cons – The 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 Management – If 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.
