Pros

Target is big on work/life balance with it's employees. I never had an issue getting time off approved if I let them know in a timely manner. I learned a lot from the opportunities I received at Target, however since I lack a college degree my future growth hinged on that.

Cons

Communication from Management to the rest of the employees is lacking. Timely feedback is also an opportunity area. Senior management plays favorites a lot as well. I worked in two locations and saw it first hand. There was a team member clearly qualified for a specialist position, but did not receive it and the lesser qualified candidate received that position. I am grateful that never affected me.

Why is Target heading towards 70/20/10.

Executive team leader, human resources

Business Outlook

Pros

Target is a company that has allot of tenered executives, so that shows that it is a company that has room for growth. However in this day and time there are so many Executives that jobs are at risk. I believe attrition plays a large part in the separtaion of their Executies. I n this day and time allot of companies are having to down size and Target being a very conservitive comapny they are handling the down sizing in a more Perfoamnce based area. How all of a sudden your Executives that has been with the company for years all of a sudden have issues?

Cons

Target should have a better training program for their Executives. They hold you accountable for your own growth but that doesnt make since, how can you be acountable for your growth when you dont know what it is you should know as a new Executive.

Pros

Its a good place to earn extra cash, or a second income. Students and parents, elderly have a fairly easy time with scheduling by choosing an availability. Breaks and lunches are adhered to strictly.

Cons

I pity those trying to raise a family on the meger hourly wages-also you shouldnt expect a lot of pity if you get sick. In order to claim your sick pay you must report to work for half of your shift and only then can you request an LOD to determine if you are sick enough to go home with pay. My last reiview was glowing, they couldnt find a thing wrong with my performance. I was was rewarded with .13 cents an hour, for a whopping 9.64 an hour. The benefits are laughable. No one can afford to go to the doctor that is covered by Target. Also they time the cashiers and stress speed, but at the same time force them to sell credit cards to guests. In this economy? Shame !! Target is wasteful. The service desk does not recycle plastic bags, hundreds go into the garbage everyday at my station alone! The photo lab throws its chemicals down the drain. We are a mile away from a salmon fish hatchery. This really really irks me, Target is a big Green washer.
