Pros

Target is flexible with hours and tend to not hire idiots. Customer service is stressed as it should be. This is a place that really tries to work with employees so they have a life outside of work. There are quite open lines of communications within the store which is a welcome relief from what I was used to in the past. All in all, it is a pretty content group of people. I am new at the job, within the past two months, but so far it has been a decent place to work. All seem to work together well.

Cons

Well, it is a retail store so the hours can be early or late. Around the holidays do not plan on traveling as that is the busy time of year. That is ok because I have always, except for two years, had such positions. If you are on the Flow team or on the sales floor you will be on your feet almost all day in case that matters. The customers are really not bad. Most are in fact quite decent. Rude employees who do not take care of customers will not like to work here as customer service is very importaint.

Pros

Leadership Training is fairly extensive

Cons

Constant assessment by senior management as well as peers. Feedback is often given just to give feedback vs. it being meaningful. This creates an environment in which people are awarded more often for the idea of giving feedback to their peers instead of an environment that rewards performance and productivity.

Pros

It's a very clean and decent workplace on the whole. If you just need some hourly work, it's very pleasant as far as retail goes. They're very big on cross-training so you can gain experience in a variety of fields and help keep you from being bored.

Cons

The promotional system is a pain, as you have to re-do the entire interview process with new managers from other stores for any leadership position. Additionally, raises are only given once annually, as opposed to on a more regular basis.
