      Grossly Underpaid w/ a Completely Skewed Work/Life Balance (LOG TL)

      Logistics team leader-flow
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Was promoted from Sales Floor TM to Logistics Team Lead (overnight) w/in 2 months of hire 2. 15% discount 3. Performance, ALL performance (store, co., job, etc), is measured with precise metrics 4. Company has HUGE amount of TL Development tools available, and seeems to take development seriously

      Cons

      1. TERRIBLE PAY (I'm a TL making $11.36/hr!) and raise structure 2. Store-level HR is an impediment to "Managing Talent" 3. Difficult to maintain work/life balance in an o/n store 4. Benefits package is insufficient 5. Most new-hire ETL's are idiots (but they are usually quite pretty) 6. Must have a degree, even if it's completely irrelevant, like Modern Dance, to get to LOD position

      Company with solid values but resistant to change

      Target.com business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company values are clear and respectable Personal development is always in conversation Work life balance is good most of the time Benefits package is incredible - preventive care 100% covered Responsibilities given based on performance not age

      Cons

      Slow to adopt change in strategies that will push target to be the retail leader Resistance to devote resources to Target.com for e-commerce needs Feedback driven culture can be overwhelming Career development and path is clear but rigid within merchandising Company culture is passive-aggressive and not direct, yet conversations about direct topics are daily - makes in-person interactions awkward Overall Minnesota culture is very reserved, passive and high school esque - all of which is evident at Target

      Good place for growth

      Team leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are many opportunities to learn great business practices on the job that you can carry with you throughout your career. I've learned more about leadership, personnel development, and training in my time here that I've learned throughout most of my time in college. There are also many opportunities for advancement to mid-level management.

      Cons

      The opportunities for advancing beyond a sr. Team Leader are very slim. Most Executives and higher are external hires. This is good for the company in that it can bring in fresh ideas, but bad for morale since the chance of being a "lifer" and an executive leader or higher are low, even with a degree. The pay is not the worst, but it's less than competitive.
