Target Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"It could be a worse working environment, but it could still definitely be improved. It's interesting the amount of control PA team members have over prices in the store, with low compensation."

"I worked for Target for a few months. I was not happy with the work and life balance, the treatment of my hourly employees and the workload that is shoved off on the other ETLs. To sum up the whole experience... if it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

"I came on as an ETL outside hire. I was new to retail, and heard a lot of good things about Target, so I went for it. However, soon after getting there and when you get past the Red Cards and phoned in sweetness you can begin to see the place for what it really is."

"I've worked at Target for over 3 years: I love the job and the vast majority of my coworkers. Unfortunately the company keeps trying to do more with less, therefore demanding more from each one of us. My main issue though is that it is near impossible to be promoted: I've been promised a promotion for over 18 months now (I passed all the necessary interviews with great reviews) but we are over headcount so it's not happening."

"I have worked for Target for 6 years. The positive environment is great to work in. The work isn't so bad (sometimes fun) and helping guests always makes me feel good."

"I have worked for Target for almost two years. The information I received about my workload, resources, schedule, and time off during my hiring process was vastly different than what I have experienced at my store. The philosophy of by any means necessary leaves us as ETLs completing a lot of PT work as I spend more than 50% of my time completing PT tasks. Work/life balance is an issue. Pay is higher than most retailers. There is also a huge difference in expectations for ETLs."

"The executives in there are not helpful, no one is on the same page. There is a lot of contradiction with the upper management and it trickles down the chain."

"This company offers a family feeling environment, but tends to suffer from under-staffing and apathetic attitudes amongst some of it's senior employees."

"Poor in WI. The leadership team in TX was much more professional."

"I've worked for Target for approximately 19 months and have enjoyed the culture here. The company has a great culture that other companies would be envious of. The sales climate at Target has not been good as expected. The facilities that the IT team works is the oldest of the buildings downtown Minneapolis but they are building a new campus in Brooklyn Park."
