Pros

The job is good pay, is flexible to an extent depending on your supervisor, you get 3 breaks including a lunch, and there are really cool people who work there

Cons

Try to include a diverse environment with benefits, but here is the tea. I only got 15-cent raises every year. They gave us "snacks" occasionally but never told us that it was expired stuff they just wanted to get rid of. Gave employees impossible tasks and when we would try to ask for a more realistic task they would tell us something along the lines of "well, you should be okay". Show favoritism towards some people and not others (giving weekends off to some who ask, but not others even if they have written proof of why). HR has said "for Juneteenth, should I get koolaid, watermelon, and fried chicken?" and then passed it off as "believing that those are the correct measures. And on the topic of HR, he currently makes college-age girls feel uncomfortable and ignores any complaints of racist, antisemitic workers. He fires people based on jokes about being tired of the job but has kept someone around who has had multiple complaints of discrimination based on race, religion, sexuality, and gender.

Pros

You get a Team member discount.

Cons

-Raising team member pay then cutting hours to make up for it, which also means cutting benefits. -An overload of tasks with not nearly enough time and staff to get done. -Cuts corners all over the store to save payroll. -Execs don't help at all. They sit in their office most of the time or complain to your TL you're not working hard enough, which then your TL comes to you. -None of your previous raises carry over when they increase base pay. So at a certain point you'll make just pennies more than a brand new hire. On top of that, the amount you get for raises have been significantly reduced. Favoritism can influence raises as well. -Many male executives will use their status to influence younger, inexperienced females and try to groom them.

Not for everyone

Pros

- decent salary - lots of resources due to scale of company - good vacation and PTO policies - flexibile WFH arrangements

Cons

- Most employees are "lifers" and have no experience outside of Target to bring to the table, very limited understanding of wider retail industry/trends - Be wary if you're a person of color or LGBTQ+, micro-agressions are very frequent. They don't mean harm but it's a company/department of mainly privileged white women from the Midwest—it will wear you down over time to witness how they handle DEI initiatives and conversations. - Things are hyper corporate, formal, and SLOW. Change/pivots come too late or not at all. Very siloed. - Have witnessed and heard stories of workplace bullying. Most teams are great but some are very toxic.
