Target Employee Reviews for Executive Team Leader

"Working at Target has developed many skills that are now relevant in any field I wish to explore. From communication to collaboration, the work environment is always fast-paced and there is always more to learn."

"I’ve worked for Target as an Executive Team Lead since 2017. During this time, I have worked in various leadership roles. Target is dedicated to boost company culture and show gratitude to teams and guests alike. Finding a work life balance as a manager is challenging."

"Target can be a great company to work for. With it being retail you have to expect to work at a minimum every other weekend and just about every holiday. The benefits provided are very good, solid 401k match (5%), health insurance and dental as well as many others including discounts through various vendors. With it being such a large company there is lots of room to move up, but at the salaried level expect to work 50 hours a week minimum and potentially more, especially during Q4."

"Target is a forward-thinking company, with team culture at the center of its operations. The firm itself is an innovator in its industry, being the first to adopt many new technologies and modern processes to further add value to their customer, as well as their team, ahead of competitors. Target's adaptive business model and team-centric culture have been the driving forces which powered the firm to be an industry leader and Fortune 50 company."

"I worked for Target about 12 months. One of the biggest retailers in US, highly innovative and provide room for thinking out of the box. Great in teaching and developing skills. Worked in CA for 8 months, and company gave me transfer within 2 days to GA. Around 1600 stores."
