Pros of working at Target

My thoughts on the Pros were firing the holiday seasons we received a lot of overtime. It was very fast paced and we were able to get a lot accomplished

Cons of working at Target

In my experience of the cons at Target were within the third week of the new year our hours a would drop between 8 to 12 hours a week.

Target benefits

If we scored our retail sale for that month everyone would get lunch or a gift from management

What do you like best about Target's CEO and the leadership team?

The manager was very nice but sometimes too nice.

How would you improve Target's culture?

If the truck was late I think the management should had helped push some products so we wouldn’t be double packed in shipping because tha when things would get lost. Organization could be so much better

How did you prepare for the Target interview?

How I prepared myself for my interview at Target was to as many questions about the department they wanted to start me in. I wasn’t to know inside and out.

How does your compensation at Target compare to the industry average?

In my experience working at Target compared to other companies like them is very fair. I believe they they actually start you out making more than other big retailers in our area

What's the diversity at Target like?

The recommendation of diverse demographic at target is amazing. You have all types of people from every walk of life that works at that company. They do not look at someone because how they look or dressed and won’t hire them because of it. Some of the best workers are “Not Normal”

What brings you the most joy at Target?

Personally, the most enjoyable aspect of my job at Target was to help the guest. I love to see people smile, and I would do anything to help our guest to make their experience a little better that day.
