I like working for Target.

Pros

Flexibilty; I like the people that I work with. I have worked for this company for about 7 years total. Anytime I have had a problem come up that I needed to address , management was very helpful. I have always received great reviews and for the most part I have enjoyed working for Target. The down side to working for Target is dealing with the general public and the problems that can ensue. I am a much more courteous shopper, after working in retail for as long as I have. Sometimes I think that people just don't realize how har we work to make the store look nice for them , so that they have a more enjoyable shopping experience.

Cons

Guest complaints about some of the policies.

Is retail right for you?

Pros

If retail is the right world for you, there are plenty of advancement opportunities. You have to perform well and fit in with the culture. If some instances, I have observed fitting in with the culture as being more rewarding.

Cons

Hours - Coming in a 4am, 5am, 6am, 1pm just did not work for me after I started my family. Being pregnant and working at Target was the worst experience of my life. At that point I decided to ride it out until maternity. I had a horrible pregnancy and a horrible manager to go along with it who told me things like, "you don't have enough energy" = maybe because I throw up in the bathroom EVERY day, or "you eat too much" = because I don't want to be sick, amongst other thing. Therefore I have NO respect for Target as an employer and will never recommend it to anyone with a family.
