Pros
The pay is very good for retail and their is some work life balance if you are management you get every other weekend off!
Cons
Due to our current economic position there has been a lot of changes made within the company. Targets modo Expect More Pay Less, however it should be [they] expect more with less. I have been with the company for 6 years and I've never seen employee moral so low. Target used to do fun events and other things to recognize their employees and make the company feel different from most retail places, however that has changed. Morale is low, and management is too busy playing politics with the store managers, so there is lack of communication, and everyone is telling on one another for pointless things, because they are in fear of losing their jobs due to downsizing, and the plain fact that Target is easily parting ways for employees these days. Management has become, in my opinion, dysfunctional and Morale is low between lower level employees because they can see it. Everyone is fake so it's hard to trust your peers when you know that everyone is looking out for themselves instead of working cohesively. The company is going away from internal promoting, so growth from that level has slowed. In the past six months I've seen more management, from team leaders, to executive team leaders, to Store managers, leave than I have ever seen. Mind you these employees had been with the company 8, 10, and one I know even 13 years. That's a long time to devote to a company, and all of a sudden leave for jobs that weren't paying you as much!
