Pros

I have only been employed with the company for a short time and in that time I have been given more opportunities to grow than at any other place of employment. If you want to succeed you have to want it. It doesn't come on a silver platter. I have an excellent "relationship" with ALL of my superiors, and the respect that is warranted for the amount of hard work that I put into my job...everyday.

Cons

The only negative attribute that I can think of at this time is the pay raise scale. Though in years past the increase in pay was a little more, I feel that this is partly due to the economic struggles that we are currently facing. This does not discourage me, nor does it affect my performance in any task that I take on. Fast, Fun, and Friendly is more than a "catch phrase", it's a way of life here at Target.

Pros

The benefits are great, management is great, and the collections atmosphere was upbeat despite the work. If you work hard, you get rewarded VERY well. The management that I was under seemed to genuinely care about me and my development. Hours are pretty flexible, too.

Cons

The work. The work was terrible. Calling people outbound (about 80 calls an hour), multiple times a day really wears on you. The turnover rate is huge. Hearing some delinquent guest's stories is heartbreaking. However, most people are really big jerks to you, no matter how nice you are to them. The quality standards are quite high and they put a lot of stress on you to meet them. The work is repetitive and difficult, and really takes its toll on you.

Pros

The benefits package is good and performance really does get you higher rather than keeping you in the same spot.

Cons

The work-life balance is non existent. My relationship is extremely strained since most ETL's work anywhere from 50 to 70 hours a week and Target moves you around frequently.
