Fast, not too sure about Fun or Friendly

Pros

Clean stores, team leads/execs generally were very good about scheduling breaks so that everyone gets their turn. Team members are overall well-trained to do their jobs.

Cons

Atmosphere was a little too stifling for me; execs in particular seemed to take things too seriously. Weird jargon used for tools & culture (the phrase"that's not BRAND" could probably be used in a drinking game).

Not for a lot of people

Pros

Easy to make friends and different work areas give different perks and possibilities. I like the opportunities to advance or train in other areas. Receiving annual raises is also a plus.

Cons

Not everyone has a bad experience. In fact, quite a few people enjoy working there, especially within the first few months. The main problem, both for myself and those I work with, is the way the managers run things. Most places are going to have problems in management, but Target has a knack for hiring managers with the fake 'Target smile' and the just as fake happy attitude. They seem to make an effort to find reasons to tell you you're doing something wrong while they leave bigger problems unsolved and overlooked, no matter how many people complain or bring it to their attention. This does not include all managers, nor does it affect all Team Members.

Stress at holidays

Pros

Generally good people to work with; as always, some good, some bad. Somewhat flexible schedule, if your executive and you get along well. You never "go home" with work. You leave that at the door when you leave each day.

Cons

Recent politics with management (seemingly moving older management out for "green" and recent graduates)
