      They pay you just enough to be insulted, and work you almost to the point of exhaustion.

      Pros

      Coworkers were very nice and some of the management was nice. There are no uniforms really and you can have your cellphone on the floor. You also get to set your own breaks.

      Cons

      Little training, they overload team members with work everyday and management makes you feel incompetent if you can’t complete the impossible amount of work assigned. They say you get 3 breaks during an 8 hour shift but they pile so much daily work on you, you can’t take all three breaks or even two breaks most of the time. The store manager is out of touch with what team members are up against and frequently makes their work harder. Target used to care about their team members but ever since they started paying 13.00 they’ve eliminated job titles and just piled on more work for the existing team members. Honestly 13.00 is just not worth being set up for failure EVERY SINGLE DAY.

      Not very down to earth

      Pros

      Great culture, the people you work with are good for the most part. Scheduling is easy to do and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Unless you are management, you will have a tough time getting full time hours. Managers and corporate do not understand the inner workings of the sales floor. You will run into some of the most entitled, stuck up, arrogant, and bigoted people you will ever meet and be forced to refer to them as "guests".

      Pros

      World wide talent base using bleeding edge technology to push the limits Constantly looking for the next new thing to implement to be more efficient and they have the cash to invest when needed

      Cons

      Expectations are extremely high. If you stick to 40 hours a week, you won't meet them in most cases. Lots of H1B visa usage and offshore interaction requiring strange work hours for most roles. A lot of the technology work and leadership is done offshore (India) and there is a large disconnect between onshore and offshore teams. Always expected to learn new tech. You never get to be an expert at anything before you're expected to learn something else. They want new talent, so people that have been there a while tend to be overlooked or pushed out. You are expected to research and learn about new tech trends and languages on your own time and bring this experience back to your day job. Without continuously incorporating new technology into your stack, you won't be viewed as a leader. Management talks about failing fast and learning from it, but failure day to day is unacceptable unless you can make up for the failure by working overtime to keep delivery timelines on schedule.
