The culture at Target is Fast, Fun, and Friendly and all team members, and leadership maintain these values. The compensation is great and there is so much room for growth with the company.

Retail in general is a tough industry. The work-life balance is really difficult, especially during the holidays.

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.
