Pros

Manager experience helped me out.

Cons

Exectutive team leaders are treated like royality while team leaders and team members are treated like dogs. We do all the work while the ETL's get all the credit. I was verbally harassed and treated terribly by my ETL and by ETL HR. I complained to team member services multiple times and nothing happened. My direct ETL is the reason I never want to work for target again. Target thinks its a good idea to give straight out of college kids a high salary and a position of power. Most if not all ETL's let this power go to their heads. They disrespect team members and threaten to fire people. Most unprofessional company I've ever worked for. I was never once thanked for my hard work. The ETL's take all the credit. Most of them do nothing but hide in an office all day. When district team leaders visit. ETL's run around like a chicken with their heads cut off. They bark orders at people. Then when the district team leader gets there, he doesn't say a word to anybody that isn't an ETL. Yeah very fast, fun and friendly. These people work for target and they act like they work for the Government. Get off it. I will never work for target again nor will I shop there. Target sucks. If you are thinking about working there, please find something else. There's thousands of companies out there that treat employees with respect and pay better.

Pros

Store discount is great, having a moderately regular schedule as opposed to other retailers. You get the opportunity to work with a wide variety of people.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. Constant texts, phone calls, emails and frequent battle of being ahead of new "roll-outs" and policies. It is impossible, within your 40 hour a week constraints, to digest the information you are given AND stay on top of your daily duties.

Pros

Many of the Co Workers are fun to be around and make the day more interesting. Helping people who really need it can be very rewarding because they genuinely appreciate your help.

Cons

As with any retail job, there are plenty of people who think they know more than you and treat you like you are beneath them purely because you work retail, and you just get to smile at them and tell them to have a nice day. They tend to hire management from outside the company, and many of these people have never worked retail in their life, let alone at a Target.
