Pros

Most of the customers have shifted to online shopping and not coming to stores and the future looks bad for Target. There will be 500 strength reduction planned in workforce at Bangalore office. Target has hired agencies which post positive reviews so this review may get buried under those positive reviews. But I am playing my role by making everyone know the reality.

Cons

Target has started asking people to quit in many teams. There is confirmed report that around 500+ people will be asked to go in the first wave. Future looks very bad as after the initial rush people have stopped coming to stores now and all are staying safe and doing online shopping. There will be many more teams which will be shut completely.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
