      Good company- but be prepared for long hours, lots of weekends and holidays...

      Pros

      Young energetic workforce keeps the atmosphere fun but productive. Fair opportunities for advancement, all who desire (and are supported) in advancing both hourly and salaried go through an extensive interview process, no exceptions.

      Cons

      Like all retail-the hours. As an Executive Team Lead, you will find yourself in the store every other weekend, opening (6am) or closing (sometimes as late as 1am). Additionally, hourly employee turnover is high, so your team is constantly changing. ETL's get right in there with hourly employees, which is important, but often very unrewarding as a college grad- during back to school you spend more time unloading freight setting up endcaps/ refilling product. As a salaried employee you are basically 'free work' to the store b/c of strict overtime rules for hourly team members, so be prepared for long work weeks.

      Pros

      For salaried team members at the stores level - Great opportunities for advancement Positive work environment Consistent feedback (both positive and critical) A focus on leadership development Excellent communication from headquarters as well as senior management Encouragement of work/life balance At the store level, required to stay active...great for those who don't appreciate sitting at a desk all day Empowerment - within your role. Every other weekend off (almost unheard of in retail) Don't have to worry about what to wear to work - it's Red & Khaki! Working at the stores level for Target, I am challenged every day. Managing over 100 people and up to 15 different areas of a store can be very intense at times. I appreciate the focus on leadership development that Target has, and know that in one year with Target, I've grown far beyond where I was as a leader. You learn that you can't be a leader without a team of people, and that therefore it's all about your people. Managing talent is a huge focus as your team will make you successful or will help you fail. I definitely recommend target to those who are: ...interested in a company where there's unlimited growth (and almost the same in income). ...able to be on their feet all day, full of energy (thankfully there's a Starbucks in most Targets today!) ...quick to learn new things and can be resourceful in an appropriate manner ...able to manage many things at once, multi-tasking beyond what others might think is possible

      Cons

      For salaried individuals - 50 hour workweeks or up to 70 at some times...but the leaders know when you work long days and try to give you time off when they can. It's retail, so there's little time off during the holidays.
