"I have worked for Target for 8+ years. In my time here I have been able to obtain my degree with their school-friendly atmosphere, as well as promote into a leadership role. I have learned more things about the retail business that I would not have imagined if it was not for this forever changing and diverse company."

Team Leader

What do you like about working at Target?

"I like the people that I work with that are not upper management."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you have other options keep them open. They ask a lot of, Tell me about a time when... questions. Be prepared with a situation, action taken, people involved and an outcome. Express impact it had and the scope and complexity it had."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"The politics and brown-nosing that goes on. You won't advance anywhere if you see things differently, don't kiss up or play their games. No one listens to new ideas and recognition. Upper management (ETL's/, STL) do no support you and will not help you complete heavy workloads even when you ask for help weeks in advance."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen and hear out your team members. Take action when they come to you with a concern or issue. Don't spread rumors or things told to you confidentially. Work with them, for them, stand up for your team. Don't come in as the mean boss, and get in there and do the work too."
