Overall a good place to work

Pros

The store is very clean. The one thing I believe separates Target from stores like Wal Mart are the cleanliness of the store and the Customer Service that you receive. The staff is very friendly and so is the management team. The management listens to problems and will do their best to help solve them.

Cons

During the holiday season it can be very busy and a lot is expected from you. There is a lot to keep up with and not very much time to do it.

Decent Company

Pros

It is a decent company and the benefits are all right for part timers if you have been there for awhile.

Cons

Besides team leader there are not very many chances for advancement in the company on the store level unless you have a bachelor's degree. They often like to leave us understaffed and expect us to complete enough work. They're also trying to downsize and get rid of management by hiring people for 'assistant' positions.

Hard work for little pay

Sales floor team member

Business Outlook

Pros

The team leaders are always helping out where ever they can. I see them zoning and even doing pulls. Whenever we need direction someone is there to give it. I am very satisfied with our team leaders when it comes to how hard they work.

Cons

The amount of work a salesfloor TM can be back breaking. You are expected to go above and beyond and stay late whenever you close. I have been in four different positions and have NEVER been trained adequately each time. They seem to believe in learning as you go. The team leaders work hard but they don't respect the basic level team members at all. They expect you to do exactly what they say with no complaints. And no matter how hard you work, don't expect much recognition. And they pay is pretty low considering the amount of work you are expected to do.
